The formal gifted identification process has four parts: screening, referral, identification (testing), and eligibility. There is a full-time GTDRT or GTD Leader in each of our 16 elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as two itinerant and one full-time Primary GTDRT in our nine elementary schools to support the Gifted Education and Talent Development Program. Thus, the Local Plan for the Gifted aligns to the WJCC Strategic Plan, the Virginia Regulations Governing Educational Services for Gifted Students, and the 5 C’s from the Virginia Profile of a Graduate (critical thinking, creative thinking, collaboration, communication, and citizenship). Gifted and Talent Development Resource Teachers (GTDRTs) support general education teachers to implement meaningful differentiation for all students, while also advancing the unique academic needs of gifted learners. As a division, WJCC expects all students to experience challenging, rigorous coursework based on their academic strengths and needs. Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools (WJCC) is committed to excellence in education for all students. To support appropriately rigorous curriculum and instruction for all students based on their unique academic strengths and needs so that all students, including our gifted and potentially gifted students, are challenged and engaged in their learning. The Mission Statement of the Department of Gifted Education and Talent Development (GTD Department) is: The WJCC gifted program falls under the Gifted Education and Talent Development Program (GTD Program). In addition, all students must have exposure to and training in higher-level critical and creative thinking skills and activities as part of the core curriculum (Tier I instruction) beginning in Kindergarten. Giftedness and potential giftedness occurs in all cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. Students exhibiting extremely high levels of performance in academics need curriculum and instruction that is specially designed for gifted learners. School is a talent development process, and students who demonstrate one or more areas of academic strength or the potential for academic strength must be nurtured through appropriately differentiated curriculum and instruction in their strength area(s). To this end, we have developed strategies to provide instruction integrated throughout the school day.WJCC holds a philosophy of talent development with regard to gifted education. We believe that a gifted student's potential requires differentiated instruction.
