"Think left 

and 

think right 

and 

think low 

and 

think high.  

Oh,

you can think up 

if only you  try!!

“Students who can exceed the grade-level indicators and benchmarks set forth in the standards must be afforded the opportunity and be encouraged to do so.  Gifted and talented students may require special services or activities in order to fully develop their intellectual, creative, artistic and leadership capabilities or to excel in a specific content area.  Again, the point of departure is the standard-based curriculum.”
