Hello and thank you for the information for how many days will the session last?
Maya, this is a one-day program. It runs from 9 a.m. to noon.
OK thanks
Hello Dori, sorry this is a personal question. Can a student be removed from gifted program if they have been away from the country for a while and got tested for the map test & didn’t do too well? Or can they still remain in the gifted program without participate and receive regular academic program intervention of assisting them to review for the years they had not been attending school in the USA? Then when they are well rounded go back to gifted & resume attending it’s programs? Sorry for all these questions. Thanks a lot for your help. Maya Keita
Hello again. I don’t know the answer to your question. From what I know about gifted children, giftedness doesn’t come and go. Giftedness may be understood as learning ability (plus other traits). Doing well (or poorly) on a MAP test isn’t an indication of learning ability, but a measure of the mastery of the specific academic material on the test. In most cases, once a child is identified as gifted, they maintain that status for as long as they remain in the public schools. (If they move to another state, they are likely to have to be evaluated again.)
However, it wouldn’t be unusual for a school to move a student out of advanced / gifted classes if they were struggling in school. Schools would rather have a student succeeding in a general level class than have them get a C or D in an advanced or gifted class. So, while a child may still be identified as a gifted learner, their school might decide that they need to be in non-gifted classes for a time. I would expect the school to discuss that with the parent.
I don’t know how this might all be affected by the student having left the school for “a while” — which I assume means they were not enrolled in the school — and then having returned to the school. Your school should have a teacher who is in charge of gifted services. That would be the best person to ask.
