Duke TIP--do you refer?
by Victoria
Aug 21, 2010
I received information about this program during the past week and I'm considering sending off for a few packets. Is the program beneficial? Also, my one concern with this is that I have about 3 students who I think would possibly have the scores required for the program, but I have 10 identified intellectually gifted students. I am hesitant to send off for only 3 packets when I have 7 others who may be wondering why I didn't ask for them as well. I think they are all great, but looking at academics, I think only 3 of them could perform well enough to possibly qualify. These three consistently score high on the state achievement tests and I consider them to be both academically and intellectually gifted.

Thanks for any insight!
