Using a combination of pull-out services, inclusion teaching, and consultation with teachers, gifted education consultants strive to meet the individual needs of Williamson County's intellectually gifted students. Our consultants are a resource for parents and teachers to provide challenging curriculum materials and insight about the affective needs of gifted children.

In Tennessee Gifted Education is a special education service, not a talent program. We meet children’s needs through an individualized education plan for identified students. Before identification can take place, students must establish a need for special education. A student must be performing at such a high level that the general education curriculum is not appropriate.

Grade level screenings will take place this year in grade 3. Various data will be collected in academic achievement, performance, creative thinking and cognition.  Identification will be multi-faceted.  Individual screenings for other grades will be done for students that demonstrate an academic need.  In summary, we are looking for children that are disabled by their giftedness.

To find more information on eligibility for gifted services, please visit our WCS website on gifted education.

Mrs. Antypas can be reached at Trinity Elementary on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday of each week.
