I'm wondering how many on the forum here have a GT teacher at the high school level....or if as often happens, those needs are addressed at the elementary and middle school level but then the attitude is often, "They have AP classes now, they'll be fine."
I've seen outstanding high school GT teachers who focus on directing individual learning, help provide and find unique opportunities, facilitate advanced clubs and classes outside of the normal scope of high school, help students prepare for ACT / SAT, council for college applications and scholarships, and serve as a councilor not only academically but for social emotional needs that GT students.
On the other hand, I've seen high school "GT Coordinators" who don't do much more than put students in AP classes that they think the student can handle.
What is your experience?
