Gifted Education Updates at CTE

In our GT groups this quarter, we are continuing our year-long focus on our ALP affective goals. Your student may be learning more about what it means to be a gifted learner, how to use their own "superpowers," and how to persevere even when something seems challenging or unfair. Our Mark Hess Social Emotional Curriculum, Brydseed resource, and Wayfinder resource will support our group work this quarter.

ALP progress updates were discussed during Fall Parent-Teacher Conferences. Please reach out to Mrs. Jakubowski with any questions! Your next progress update will be communicated via your student's Elementary Progress Report in December.

In October, Mrs. Jakubowski and Mr. Miller, along with our district team, will present 3 sessions at the Colorado Association for Gifted and Talented State-wide Conference, highlighting the many positive GT practices in place at CTE, to serve our gifted students. In November, they will present again at the National Association for Gifted Children Conference. It is an honor showcase our school's GT systems and practices at the state and national level.

Colorado Association for Gifted and Talented (CAGT) strives to provide parents with tools and resources that will assist them in understanding and meeting the unique needs of their gifted children. Check out some of their resources here: https://www.coloradogifted.org/who-we-serve/parents/
