Sabine
ISD provides Advanced Academic (Gifted/Talented) Services
to eligible students in grades K – 12.
A talent pool
is used in the early grades (K-2) to expose the students to
divergent thinking skills and to allow time to observe studentsinan
educational environment before identifying them for G/T services.
  
The
school district’s services focus on the core curriculum
areas – reading/language arts, mathematics, science,
and social studies. Advanced Academic Services provide a variety
of opportunities to interact with other gifted/talented students.
Examples include the Imagination Fair at LeTourneau University,
the Academic
Rodeo at the East Texas Fair in Tyler, and the Model United
Nations that involves a large number of Region 7 ESC schools.
In
addition to opportunities to interact with other G/T students,
Sabine ISD encourages and supports students in individual
study projects through mentoring and job shadowing. These
are normally approved for seniors.
Questions
regarding advanced academic (G/T) services may be directed
to Nelda Woodfin, Curriculum Director; Janis Kirkpatrick, elementary
GT teacher, or Joe Stokes, secondary GT teacher and coordinator.
