START (Strategies for Teaching and Reaching Talent) is a program for potentially gifted students in kindergarten through third grade. These students are more advanced than their peers and need acceleration and enrichment, as well as opportunities for creative and critical thinking. The START goals are to challenge students to develop their skills in thinking critically, creatively and reflectively. Students are offered a variety of educational opportunities that extend and enrich the county curriculum and support the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOLs).
The START resource teacher and the regular classroom teacher work together to identify potentially gifted students, to assess the needs of those students, to provide differentiation in the regular classroom and to offer enrichment and acceleration. In addition, the START students come to the resource room each week to work directly with the START teacher. During this time, students work on units that involve above-grade level concepts as well as opportunities to work on choice activities. For more information on the Identification Process go to the Parent Information Folder and see the file titled "The START Entry Process".
