I (Rob Hirschfeld) have been asked to serve on the Eanes District Leadership Team to represent GT Parent interests. I have 5th and 3rd grade students in the Eanes Elementary GT program and would like to bring a broader range of knowledge draw from on this team.
I’d like to hear from GT parents about how their experiences, celebrations, and fustrations. This will help me better represent your children’s needs for to the District.
Please feel free to comment to this post (I’ll get emailed) to contact me directly (rob@4eanes.com).

Rob: Do we want to get together as interested GT parents and discuss this?
Here’s my input in case we don’t get to meet — we need more GT! More resources, more attention, more time in GT, more support for GT and Carla, more education and training for the classroom teachers and the administration and counselor about GT students and their needs and about differentiation in the classroom, and more coordination with the curriculum. Also, GT kids need to be grouped together — at least 3 to a class — so that they will have GT peers in class. This also alleviates them feeling like “outsiders”. Maddie was the only GT kid in her class last year and this year, there is one other GT kid in her class — a boy — but that’s it.
