NEXT STEPS PROPOSAL K-2• Serve targeted K-2 students (approximately 2%) in home school settings

through individualized plans, developed in collaboration with school staff and families that may include:– Differentiated curriculum and instruction in the general education

classroom– Cluster grouping for all or part of the day– “walk to” accelerated content instruction– Grade skipping– Early entrance into kindergarten

• Select and train teachers (UW partner ready!)• Screen students using available academic data, assess

with Gifted Rating Scales (GRS-P) and CogAT 7

• Begin K services midyear; align 1-2 with other grade cycles

NEXT STEPS PROPOSAL 3-6• Begin at grade 3 transitioning to two service models within the program:

– 2 self-contained sites– Cluster programs at all elementary sites

• Self-contained: Verbal and Quantitative Scores 97%ile or higher • Continue current nomination/referral, assessment, and identification

procedures to identify “most highly capable”• Initiate a Promise Scholars enrichment program to identify high potential

students of color and ELLs not selected for HiCap but demonstrating high potential to be added to clusters (Expand Promise Scholars to K-2 in no more than two years)

• Select and train teachers (Whitman partner ready!)• Enrich classroom resources
