The Department of Gifted Education provides an increasingly comprehensive, challenging K-12 curriculum to meet the needs and enhance the talents of gifted learners. In order to achieve this goal, the gifted team has concentrated on the following objectives:
- Searching, refining and designing multiple screening and selection procedures and instruments to accurately identify gifted students;
- Developing, refining and implementing gifted curriculum and service differentiation with respect to content, process, product, and environment;
- Collaboratively developing and supporting site-based programs and interdepartmental projects with administrators, teachers, parents and students to address the unique, diverse needs of gifted learners;
- Investigating assessment procedures to measure student’s growth and program effectiveness.
In order to maintain the safest learning environment, Peoria Unified offers a 24-hour Safe School Line for students, parents and community members to anonymously report threats or suspicious activity. Any messages will be retrieved during the district's regular business hours and reported to the appropriate school principal.
