East Carter R-II Gifted Program Mission Statement

The purpose of the Gifted  Program (EXCEL) is to recognize the performance capabilities of gifted students, as well as to address the unique needs and differences associated with having these abilities. The Excel Program provides gifted learners with qualitatively differentiated curriculum experiences; focusing on higher level thinking, inquiry, problem solving and creativity.

About Gifted Education....

If we were TV sets, some of us would only get five channels. Others are wired for cable (the general population) and some of us (the gifted) are hooked up to a satellite dish. That makes these gifted children capable of making connections that others don't even know exist! Teaching those types of voracious minds in a regular classroom without enhancement is like feeding an elephant one blade of grass at time. You'll starve them
