Background:
|
As required by the 2012-2016 Local Plan for Gifted Education, a full program evaluation by an outside, independent expert in the field of gifted education was commissioned and executed during SY 16. The ACPS Talented and Gifted (TAG) Program was evaluated against national and state standards, best practices in identification and service delivery options. The results of the evaluation were presented to the School Board on October 12, 2017. Recommendations and commendations addressed areas which were deemed to be of high quality and those which needed improvement. Specific suggestions and resources for improvement were provided in the evaluation for each of the recommendations. Work towards implementation of these recommendations has been ongoing and will continue. These periodic updates are intended to track progress of implementation.
