Goal for the presentation
O The Lutheran Elementary Schools and High Schools has consistently attracted students with above average intelligence and adaptive skills. Therefore, accommodating the students with gifts/talents has been an ongoing task for teachers for many years. However, how are the students with gifts/talents being challenged to their full academic potential in LES and ALHS today? In addition, how can teachers reach all children, especially those of color and gender?
