Resources for Educators of High Ability/High Potential Students
Some school districts may be able to employ a gifted education specialist, but this may not be feasible for many districts. Alternative strategies include sharing a gifted education specialist among several schools or contracting with a gifted education specialist for specific services including high quality professional development. The OPI's Serving Montana's High Ability/High Potential Students (Planning Guide and Strategies) outlines a number of classroom strategies as part of Montana's Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS). This process is useful in planning and managing instruction for high ability/high potential students.
