Current through March 14, 2024

Maintaining program integrity is of utmost importance. The Mississippi Gifted Education Act of 1989 requires teachers of the gifted to provide a gifted program that meets the individual needs of the gifted students being served. The size of each class in grades 2-8 should be in the range of 4-9 students. Once a class reaches 10 or more students, the integrity of the program could be negatively impacted. The size of each class in grades 9-12 should be 7-14 students. More than 14 students begins to impact on the teacher being able to meet the individual needs of their students.
