Yes, I had googled around a bit and read what a DEP could be, but I'm just curious how they're actually being developed and used in different schools. That link from NC says an Individualized Differentiation Plan is for kids who don't meet the criteria for the DEP. So an IDP and a DEP are different, at least in North Carolina. But does that mean that a DEP cannot be individualized? I'm wondering why gifted kids working at different (high) levels don't each get a individualized plan for their G/T class. My son, for example, is advanced in science, but his G/T class doesn't do science, they just work on "enrichment" of the things already studied in the general ed classroom, namely the subjects stressed on the standardized tests: math and reading.
