Gifted Education

The Gifted Services staff provides services to support the development and growth of local school district programming for gifted students. They work closely with MVESC and local district curriculum staff to integrate and align services and programming. The goal is to help districts serve gifted students in the most appropriate setting with the most appropriate instruction from the time of school entry to graduation.
