GIFTED EDUCATION SERVICES The DoDEA Gifted Education standards guide the identification and services provided for students with exceptional potential at Geilenkirchen Elementary School. Students identified for gifted education services will be provided with program services designed to match their areas of strengths. Our school’s Gifted Review Committee makes recommendations for services for each eligible student. Parents/guardians of the eligible student receive a letter indicating which services are available for the student. With parental permission, services begin for the student. Services are provided on an ongoing basis unless the parent withdraws permission or the committee seeks re-evaluation. |

Program delivery at Geilenkirchen Elementary includes: |
||||
Individualized Services Additional Opportunities Regular classroom with grade acceleration of specific content Regular classroom with differentiation of instruction Resource Class, small group instruction |
||||
IDENTIFICATION OF ELIGIBLE STUDENTS Nomination : Recommendations for services may come from professional staff members, parents/guardians, or self-nomination. No qualifying test scores are required for nomination. |
||||
Screening : Information from available standardized test scores, such as Terra Nova and/or In View, is used to screen likely candidates for gifted program services. Classroom performance with portfolios of student work, as well as rating scales completed by parents, teachers, and students are considered in the screening. |
||||
| Transfer Records : Students coming to Geilenkirchen Elementary from another DoDEA school are automatically found eligible for services if they were eligible at their previous school. Students coming from a public or private school outside of DoDEA are referred to the Gifted Review Committee for a determination of eligibility. Parents should provide information related to gifted services the child received at the previous school. | ||||
