   Forestburg ISD is committed to meeting the needs of all students.

    Our students have many gifts and talents ranging from academics to performance arts and athletics. The Gifted & Talented Program is designed to address the advanced academic and creative needs of our Gifted and Talented students.

   As a school, we are committed to recognizing GT students and then providing them with classes that meet their academic needs, nurture and encourage their interest in fine arts and athletics and foster a lifelong love of learning.

Elementary Services (grades K-4)

   GT Pull-Out Classes allow students the opportunity to express themselves academically and creatively. The Texas Performance Standards Project, www.texaspsp.org is used as a guide for independent study projects, while technology based instruction is used in group settings to encourage higher order thinking.

Middle School/ Junior High Services (grades 5-8)

   GT students receive services during their Academic Enrichment Class period with a GT-Certified Teacher. The class is built into the weekly schedule to allow the GT-Certified Teacher to coordinate with general education teachers on interdisciplinary, independent and group study units. In these classes, students work on projects in advanced technology studies as well as creative group projects. The Texas Performance Standards Project, www.texaspsp.org is used as a guide for independent study projects.
