GIFTED AND TALENTED SERVICES
Cambridge School District is dedicated to matching the varied needs of talented and gifted students with services that will help mazimize their potential. The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction has incorporated the needs of talented and gifted students into the Response to Intervention (RTI) framework. ( See the link to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction RTI roadmap in the resource section below.)
The focus of RTI is on how students are responding to grade level standards. Students who exceed standards are provided with varied options that move them forward in their continuum of learning.
