Enrichment

This portion of the site will be updated as often as possible with enrichment opportunities that are available for the gifted and talented students of District 303.  These opportunities may include internal District 303 opportunities as well as external opportunities that the group is aware of. 

If you know of any opportunities that may be of interest to the gifted and talented population of District 303, please feel free to visit our Contact Us page and send us an email with specific details.  The steering committee will review these submissions and determine whether or not to add the event to our web site.

TIME Magazine Gifted Article
If you didn’t catch the recent article about gifted education in TIME magazine, you can find it by clicking here. Featured in the article is Jan Davidson, who heads up the Davidson Institute and was the GTRG’s guest speaker three years ago. Jan and the other TIME sources make excellent arguments for gifted education. Example: “We take for granted that those with IQs at least three standard deviations below the mean...require ‘special’ education. But students with IQs that are at least three standard deviations above the mean (145 or higher) often have just as much trouble interacting with average kids and learning at an average pace.”
