Country Parkway ElementaryGifted Programming Services
The primary purpose of Gifted Programming is to provide opportunities to meet the needs of students who exhibit gifted behavior. Giftedness is represented through achievement and creative productivity over a sustained period of time, in a domain that matters to the person. This conception of giftedness includes characteristics or traits which can be nurtured or enhanced through appropriate instruction and experiences. Gifted Programming in Williamsville is adapted from Donald Treffinger’s Levels of Service Model.
