Gifted and Talented
Bruce Randolph prepares students for post-secondary opportunities by providing a rigorous and accelerated education in a supportive and restorative educational setting. Gifted and Talented (GT) learners, in particular, will receive an intentional curriculum geared towards developing students’ personal efficacy and agency. In addition, it is our mission to identify more culturally and linguistically diverse students for GT programming by gathering anecdotal data needed to qualify our Talent Pool students as [H]GT and continuing to add to the Talent Pool from our diverse set of learners.
Programming and Services
- Concurrent enrollment classes for high school students
- Whole grade acceleration in English Language Arts & Math
- Social emotional support groups facilitated by the GT coordinator and the Mental Health Team
- Professional development for staff on characteristics of giftedness and differentiation for gifted learners to increase rigor and engagement within our classrooms
Identification and Advanced Learning Plans (ALPs)
- Gifted and Talented students develop individualized goals that support academic growth and social/emotional development.

- Use of culturally responsive tools (SIGS, Accuplacer, ACCESS scores) to identify students and address inequities in GT/HGT/ME/Talent Pool population.
