CHCCS Goals for Gifted Programming
Our vision is for ALL STUDENTS to acquire the knowledge, skills, behaviors and attitudes to achieve their learning potential. To develop their fullest potential, we will encourage students to embrace diversity, contribute positively to their community, explore possibilities, and aspire to excellence.
We strive to support classroom teachers in talent development and talent detection from Pre K to 12th grade. Gifted Education is housed in the Department of Advanced Learning and Student Leadership.

How do I Ask About Gifted Education Services?
If you have questions about gifted education, it is best to start with the team at your neighborhood school. This includes your student’s classroom teacher, the school’s Gifted Education Specialist, and the building administration.

Your Child's Learning Experiences
-
Classroom teachers utilize evidence-based materials and practices to teach core subject areas (reading, writing, math, science, social studies) with the support of our Gifted Education Specialists. To create an optimal learning environment, teachers use high-quality learning opportunities including universal screenings, formative and summative assessments, and standardized progress monitoring to document mastery of curriculum standards. The general education teacher is the primary source of differentiation with support from the Gifted Education Specialists.
Read more about the AIG continuum of services.
In CHCCS, we aspire to integrate and connect AIG services with the total instructional program. We intentionally align AIG services with our areas of identification (math and reading). Collaboration within the total school community is essential for detecting the need for advanced learning opportunities.
