Fostering creative innovative thinking in children need not involve expensive materials or elaborate program guides, but a freshness that is perhaps best seen by the children themselves.

As a parent and advocate for highly capable programs in our state, I’m frustrated by the lack of options for those who find themselves on the right side of the assessment curve. Just as it is important to consider alternatives for those whose performance is underassessed, it’s important that we consider performance ceilings on our testing tools that prevent us from appropriately measuring the growth and performance of our state’s highly capable learners.
