Christa McAuliffe Charter Elementary School, Cape Coral

Christa McAuliffe’s gifted program started with just four students. Currently, we have 24 students and are growing fast! The gifted program at CMCE is an enhance curriculum based on Core Knowledge concepts, and is differentiated for each grade level. This fast paced curriculum extends student’s learning as it incorporates critical thinking skills, research and problem solving as well as a greater level of complexity across subject areas than would normally be found in the classroom. It allows students to work at their own pace, so that areas of interest can be explored according to individual needs.

The gifted program at CMCES is a part time program that services students one day each week by grade level. Students are selected for this program by his/her classroom teacher. The process starts with a six week observation period where work samples/anecdotal records are collected. The Gifted Assessment Team will evaluate the student and his/her portfolio and will make a recommendation for gifted testing. A school psychologist will administer an IQ test to determine if the student qualifies for the program. Once a child qualifies for gifted services, they will continue to receive gifted services throughout their entire academic career. Please contact Jacque Collins for more information at 283-4511.
