I teach the PYP in a Colorado school. It's an incredible program for ALL learners. We teach the Learner Profiles of being KNOWLEDGABLE and THINKERS. That said, my class just took their NWEA MAPS tests in Reading and Math - and I'm pleased to say over half of my class would be in the RIT value range of 'gifted'. No, I don't have an exceptionally talented class - I have a hoard of enthusiastic learners who can problem solve.
