Thank you for letting Miriam know of any visitors coming to your class who do not volunteer for you on a regular basis. This advance notice provides time to make sure the person has completed their background check and so we know they are scheduled to be on campus in the event of any emergencies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I reached out to Lora Nordquist with the question that came up at SIW on Wednesday about why TAG students are not considered a Historically Underserved group. Lora’s response was: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“when we talk about \u201cunderserved students,\u201d we are referencing those groups of students who historically have performed below their non-HU counterparts on basically every metric related to schools: test scores, graduation rates, representation in advanced classes, etc. While we can absolutely talk about better ways to challenge our TAG students\u2026and all students, for that matter, these students typically perform very well on all these measures.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
