LISD Gifted and Talented Mission

We strive to identify and engage a diverse population of gifted and talented (G/T) students, build relationships that support student growth, ignite within students a desire for learning, and provide services and supports to meet students' unique social-emotional and educational needs every day. 

We believe that Gifted and Talented students...

• Benefit from shared family, community, and school partnerships in developing individualized services.

• Possess unique social-emotional and educational needs that must be addressed for overall success.

• Deserve the opportunity to explore their unique passions and capabilities.

• Need families, educators, and community members to have ongoing learning equipping them to support the whole child.

• Value and need opportunities to work with like-minded peers.

• Are present in all populations and cultures.

• Require flexibility in systems and services.
