In the state of New Mexico, gifted education falls under the Special Education Department. Students are identified through a referral and evaluation process at their school. Programs are developed for each student through the Individualized Education Program (IEP). Gifted services are provided through a variety of classroom models, however at this time Gifted is not serviced at our school.
RtI is a framework being used across the country and specifically encouraged by the federal government as school systems seek ways to ensure success for all students, and provide early assistance to students who are experiencing academic and/or behavioral challenges, or need opportunities for advanced learning. It is a continuum of school-wide support that seeks to maximize the odds of student success and contributes to overall comprehensive school improvement efforts. That is, it is a way for schools to
- organize and guide instructional delivery;
- allocate and optimize resources; and,
- use an integrated systems approach to teaching, learning, and behavioral supports to ensure that all students can learn.
