It was because of their intervention that we were able to get my son finally placed in gifted classes this past year. It did not, however, help getting the teachers to understand or accept the issues of being Twice Exceptional. ~Lisa http://www.lisaabeyta.wordpress.com/

This is an administrative decision not mandated by federal law. This is significant, I think - it's a relative performance indicator.

In addition to their GT centers, they have a special school just for 2E. http://www.wrightslaw.com/info/2e.guidebook.pdf The sad part is that this district was taken over by a deal with Pearson to market common core materials and from what I hear, things are not as rosy as they could be. (IOW, I wouldn't move there for the services!) This is exactly what I'm looking for! I'm looking for examples of policy and best practices. (I'm not looking to move anywhere!) Thank you -

I think there is still some variation in the individual districts as they all have to come up with a Local Plan for Gifted Education that is submitted back to the state.
