I do not believe that we need to go to the extreme of IEP’s for the gifted and talented students. The last thing we would want to do is give teachers more forms to fill out rather than utilizing their time in teaching. Our school system has been lucky enough to be awarded the Javits Grant which is to train teachers K-8 in teaching gifted students. As the teachers have been trained they are now expanding their training and knowledge to their colleagues. Medford High School is ranked as the highest high school in offering the most AP courses in the country and the amount of students that have taken advantage of those courses are surpassing our expectations in the tests each year.
