Twenty-two seventh graders from Gallatin R-5 School have been tapped for Duke University’s Talent Identification Program. The student’s qualified for the TIP program based upon test scores in the top five percent on verbal or math subtests or the Stanford Achievement Test.
Dating back to 1980, TIP had identified academically talented students and provided programs to support the development of their optimal educational potential.
TIP’s goals are to identify and serve academically talented young people; to inform students about their abilities and academic options; to work with schools, families, and communities to address the educational needs of talented students; to sponsor innovative, challenging and motivating educational programs; to conduct research on the nature of academic talent; and to provide information resources for students, parents, and educators.
TIP’s major identification activity, the Talent Search, is now beginning its 201st year and is the largest program of its kind in the nation.
