GT Center Information
In the 2020-2021 school year, GT Center at EMS looks different on the surface, but not a change in practice. Students accepted into GT Center are taught by GT certified teachers (or in progress towards certification) who differentiate based on student need. Students are cohorted with predominately GT learners in their core classes. While GT classes are not specifically labeled as as GT, they were built with students educational plans as a primary consideration.
Special schedule structures include Academic Focus and, in the 2020-2021 school year Remote Fridays, where specialized GT programming can be offered. Here, the affective needs and academic enrichment, as well as a school-wide focus on Social Emotional Programming.
