                                BILL NUMBER:S1874

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the education law, in relation to teach-
er   training  in  programs  for  gifted  students;  to  repeal  certain
provisions of such law relating thereto;  and  making  an  appropriation
therefor

PURPOSE:  Directs  that  teachers  be trained in the education of gifted
students, and provides start-up funding  for  such  training;  repealer;
appropriation.

SUMMARY  OF  PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends education law by adding § 3004
(7) to require, as part of licensure and certification for teachers  and
certain  educational  professionals,  three  credits  of  course work or
training in the education of gifted and talented, including twice-excep-
tional students, as well as the inclusion of practices to identify gift-
ed children in required professional development plans.

Section 2 amends §  3204  (2-b)  of  education  law  to  require  school
districts  to  provide  gifted students with instruction under a teacher
with appropriate training in educating gifted pupils. This section  also
requires  school  districts  to  provide  acceleration  opportunities in
grades one, three and five, similar to those currently required in grade
eight.

Section 3 amends § 3208 (5) (d) of education law to require that  school

districts  notify  parents  if diagnostic screening indicates that their
child is possibly gifted. This section also entitles such child to gift-
ed instruction.

Section 4 appropriates one million dollars ($1,000,000) to fund  teacher
training in instruction of gifted pupils.

JUSTIFICATION: It is important that our education system is able to meet
the needs of its brightest students, so New York can continue to produce
and retain talented leaders. In a time of serious anxiety whether or not
New  York's  education  system  is  preparing our youth to succeed in an
increasingly competitive global economy, it is ironic that current state
law abandons this state's most promising citizens.

Currently New Your State Education  Law  does  not  require  schools  to
provide any services to gifted and talented students. Given this and the
lack of funding for gifted and talented program, many schools are simply
ignoring their most gifted students. Gifted and Talented Aid is provided
through

Comprehensive Operating Aid, allowing schools to cut gifted and talented
programs  and  apply the funds elsewhere. The "No Child Left Behind Act"
has focused national attention on how schools can better  educate  their
lower-achieving  students.  With this school officials feel obligated to

prioritize programs that address the needs of their  most  disadvantaged
students.

Funds  are  distributed  to academic intervention services, English as a
second language programs, and special education at the expense of gifted
education. While the need to pour resources into these programs is unde-
niably great, to neglect gifted and talented students not  only  stifles
the  potential  of New York's high achievers, but is a disservice to all
New Yorkers. This does not need to be a zero-sum game.

Ultimately, encouraging schools  to  provide  challenging  programs  for
gifted  and  talented  students  raises  the bar for all. Advancing high
quality instruction under  accomplished  teachers  should  always  be  a
priority.

In  order to promote the continued development of exceptionally intelli-
gent children, this bill encourages greater awareness of gifted students
and supplies funds to assist schools in offering such services.

shall not affect the expiration of such section and shall be  deemed  to
expire therewith.

JUSTIFICATION:

It is imperative for our education system to be able to meet the needs
of its brightest students, so that New York can continue to produce

the lack of funding for gifted and talented programs, many schools are
simply ignoring their most gifted students. Gifted and Talented Aid is
provided through "Comprehensive Operating Aid", allowing schools to

"No Child Left Behind Act" has focused national attention on how

exceptionally intelligent children, this bill encourages greater
awareness of gifted and talented students, requires schools to provide
