PBL District Gifted Program

The gifted program at PBL provides students experiences that challenge higher order thinking skills by participating in activities suited to their aptitude in a given area. Students who are identified for the program work with their building principal, teacher, and parents on agreed upon individual and group projects during the school year that go above and beyond the regular classroom setting. Students participating in the program maintain a portfolio as part of the evaluation process, as well as product evaluations and parent/teacher/student conferences.

Teachers who choose to participate in the gifted program are provided stipends to attend staff development opportunities that will update them in their area of expertise and interest. Time is also set aside for the staff to plan activities for the year and funds are provided for the purchase of supplies, equipment, and materials.

One area that has experienced a great deal of success, due to the gifted program, is our math program. Students participate in the highly acclaimed Mathmatica program at the high school under the guidance of Mrs. Sandy Emerick. The PBL Math team, which is comprised of many of these students, has proudly represented the district by winning the Regional Math Team competition for 9 consecutive years and placing high at the state level, with many individuals capturing state honors.
