In the Charleston County School District, pushing for universal testing of all fourth-grade students resulted in three times as many students identified as gifted, rising from 40 to 150 across the district.

Summer SAIL has wrapped for 2024! We are so proud of our teachers and leaders for coordinating an incredibly enriching experience for our scholars. Choice, voice, depth, complexity, high-interest topics, collaboration, and creativity. 🧠👊@CCSDConnects
We are having a blast helping educators uncover hidden potential through CogAT data. Watching teachers discover the cognitive strengths and talent for all is empowering. Our SOS System is a game changer! @1BillionLives @CCSDConnects

Congrats to the students, staff, and community volunteers who poured their hearts into celebrating math and science in big ways at Camp Road Middle this week. Had a blast judging the science fair incorporating students from all James Island schools!
Talent is distributed equally; opportunity is not. Shout out to these @CCSDConnects schools for joining the push to equalize opportunities to develop academic talent for all students. @laurelhillLHP East Cooper Montessori @StJamesSantee – at South Carolina, USA

Novices seek praise. Recognizing strengths builds confidence to keep going.
Experts crave criticism. Seeing shortcomings reveals avenues to keep growing.
Preferring corrections to compliments is a sign of skill. The better you get, the more determined you become to get better.

Being a lifelong learner isn’t about taking pride in your knowledge. It's about having the humility to know what you don’t know.

Working with SC educators is always a great experience!
The "find the special child" model is often used but ultimately creates more problems than it solves. Better to be inclusive and provide a range of advanced services for a bigger group of talented students.
So proud of our high schools who have increased their focus on access & equity to rigorous coursework through the use of the AP Potential tool. Students should consider AP courses in their unique area/s of strength and interest for optimal success. 👊 – at South Carolina, USA
CCSD is proud to announce that 5 schools are listed on the 2023 AP® School Honor Roll due to a high number of students taking exams and performing at a high level on AP tests. SOA, @wandohigh, Academic Magnet, @beckhambengals, @CCSMS2day

Words of wisdom from @Mathcation. 🧡
ALT "It’s comforting to hear seasoned teachers acknowledge their growth. It sends a message that it’s okay to be imperfect as long as you’re committed to your students’ growth, showing that teaching is a profession of continuous learning and love." —Brandon Biro, Educator
Thanks for the shout @1BillionLives! And thanks for making our jobs easier and far more meaningful by providing the data we need to uncover a child’s natural strengths and potential! I just happen to be a big fan! 👊🤩 – at South Carolina, USA
CONGRATULATIONS to the amazing recipients of the #NAGC23 Gifted Coordinator Awards: Lisa Ernsberger of @ElkhartSchools, Kirsten Maloney of @fcpsnews and Elizabeth Uptegrove of @CCSDConnects. Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and creativity.
