Aurora Public Schools is committed to providing for the unique needs of the advanced and/or gifted and talented learner.  Gifted and talented students are those who's learning capacity and potential for accomplishment are so exceptional or developmentally advanced that they require special provisions to meet their educational and affective needs.  These children and youth exist within all ethnic, geographic, and socio-economic groups. The district believes such services should be a part of the overall educational programming, supporting growth and excellence for every student.

 

These funds provide an array of service options that recognize individual strengths, interests, and challenges that best maximizes student potential.  These options include salary and benefits for the Teachers on Special Assignment (TOSA's), mileage reimbursement, substitute pay, supplies, and professional development.  Additional non-General Fund support is provided through a continuing grant from the Colorado Department of Education.
