Fall 2023 Gifted and Talented Education
Meet our new Differentiation Specialist, Tamyke Edwards!
This summer, Karen Anderson and Ms. Edwards had the opportunity to attend the UConn Confratute at the Renzulli Center for Creativity, Gifted Education, and Talent Development. They spent a week learning together and planning for the 2023-24 school year. They were honored to finally meet and learn from Dr. Renzulli and Dr. Sally Reis in person, two of the most prominent scholars in Gifted Education in the country. The foundations of the Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM), are at the core of the structure of the GATE program in PUSD.
We look forward to expanding our programs and deepening teacher practice in differentiation throughout the district with the incredible addition of Ms. Edwards to our team.
