Gifted and Talented
Individualization Optimizes Potential
It is important to nurture potential and support gifted children as they reach for their personal best.
At Lone Tree Elementary, we create Advanced Learning Plans (ALPs) for every student who qualifies for the Gifted and Talented Program in DCSD to address their strengths, optimize growth, and help them reach their potential. We personalize for all students by removing the ceiling in all academic areas and utilize target-teaching strategies that naturally differentiate for our Gifted Learners in a beneficial integrated manner.
Douglas County School District is committed to implementing equitable practices to increase access to advanced/gifted learning opportunities. Based on state and national recommendations and requirements, we implement Universal Screening for students in 2nd grade in February, and 5th or 6th grade in November.
