Has anyone else’s Corp cut services to G/T because of the pandemic? Mine has, and I am absolutely heartbroken for the kids. They need services now more than ever. However they keep hiring SpEd positions and offering more services for SoEd students because they say the need is greater. How can the needs for one end of the spectrum be greater than the other? Without laws, what can we do to ensure gifted students get the education they need and deserve? Suggestions?

Ohio has a parent group that is instrumental in HBs for gifted children. The group is Ohio Association of Gifted Children, I receive emails about the work being done to accommodate them educationally in our schools. This website might help you, not sure what you are looking for.

#1 - In my current district, the GenEd teacher is also the GT certified teacher that is expected to provide services to her GT students without any extra compensation or resources. We have extra monthly meetings, extra paperwork, GT 6 hour PD updates every summer with no additional compensation! In a previous district, each campus had a GT teacher that did pullouts for enrichment for these kids in every grade level. Now, they just added more duties to the general education teacher! It’s like I’m punished to be the GT teacher. 😏

#2 - GT and the label is over used in my district! They test ALL students in 2nd grade and a ridiculous amount of kids qualify. By the time I get them labeled as GT in 4th grade, it’s a joke! In my class of 17 identified GT students, I would honestly say there are truly only 5! The rest are just high achievers. Some “GT” kids can’t do basic math and some struggle with formulating a complete sentence! With that, all students have strengths and weaknesses, not necessarily “gifted”!

Growing up, I was labeled a gifted child. My area of giftedness was “creative ability and problem solving”! It wasn’t in a subject area, but because I had the label, I came with expectations and always put in higher level classes! Obviously, I struggled and did my best.

I hate the GT label to this day! As an educator, I give ALL students learning opportunities for them to explore areas of strengths and talents, gifted or not! I think every kid is gifted at something, but many don’t get the opportunities to discover them! The GT label is more for parents to brag about in social settings! 🤔
