Toledo Public Schools strives to provide an environment where all students can thrive and be challenged and supported. We currently support that goal through a variety of approaches:
-
Curriculum differentiation
-
Gifted sections of ELA and Math for 5th, 6th and 7th grades
-
Subject acceleration and EHSO
-
Whole grade acceleration following ODE guidelines and using the Iowa Acceleration Scale and approved assessments
-
College Credit Plus (CCP)
-
Honors and Advanced Placement (AP) classes
Children who are gifted and are receiving gifted services have a Written Education Plan (WEP) that provides goals for the student.
Children who are subject or whole grade accelerated have a Written Acceleration Plan (WAP) that provides a plan for the transition to the higher class or grade level.
