The goal was never to identify test scores.
The goal has always been to identify potential. #GTEducation #TalentDevelopment

Last night we celebrated teachers & central office staff who were recognized for their support of gifted education. Kudos to our very own Kristen Modes for her leadership! 60 @ccps students also received awards & yes that was me making all that noise celebrating each one of them!

I agree! Ms. Lednum is amazing! ❤️❤️

[T. C. Martin @TigersTCMartin]

Not only is Ms. Lednum an amazing kdg IA, did you know she is also a swim instructor during the summer? In both positions she loves making her students smile & laugh. Her superpower is establishing positive relationships with her students. #creatingheroes @madameprincipal
