Gifted learners and Common Core

The new Common Core state standards have come up at recent TAGAC meetings and families have many questions. Dr. Matier, PPS' Director of Instruction, has briefly discussed connecting PPS' TAG services and acceleration policy to both the Common Core standards and Smarter Balanced testing as they roll out in our district.

We will post info. as it is available - and please send any articles that you think may be of interest.

For now, here is the National Association of Gifted Children's faq page on Common Core 

And its position paper on Common Core is here.
