About our Guide:
As parents of kids enrolled in schools throughout Richardson Independent School District (RISD), we all remember having questions about the gifted program: how do children qualify, what does it really mean to be "gifted" anyway, what changes as kids get older, and so many more. For many of us, we learned the answers through experience or through talking with others.
As members of Gifted Education Alliance of Richardson (GEAR), a nonprofit membership organization that serves families and educators of gifted children in RISD, we realized that it might be helpful for us to try to share what we’ve learned with other families. The Unofficial Guide to Gifted Programming in RISD was created to include a list of the questions we’ve heard most frequently, along with our answers and links to RISD’s Advanced Learning Services’ newsletters on the topics whenever possible. Follow the link for more information, and reach out to us if you have any questions via the GEAR Facebook Page or to [email protected]. Thank you!
