At Fairfield Elementary School we use the Resource-Cluster model for the delivery of gifted services. That means that the Gifted Resource Teacher (Ms. Laura Burnette) is in every kindergarten and first grade classroom about once a week, and in each 2nd-5th grade gifted cluster classroom several times a week as well, as varied depending on the classroom focus or unit of study. The gifted cluster teachers also collaboratively plan with the GRT on a weekly basis.
All first and fifth grade students in Virginia Beach City Public Schools are screened for gifted services. There is more information on this the screening process and the Resource-Cluster model at http://www.vbschools.com/curriculum/gifted/elemgift.asp. The gifted program applications are available online at http://giftedapplication.vbcps.com/. |
