Every student deserves to be challenged and learn something new every day, including the children who score at advanced levels. The Talent Identification Program of Kentucky (TIP-KYSM) facilitates above-level testing for students in grades 4-8 by partnering with their school systems, the Belin-Blank Center at the University of Iowa, and the national ACT organization. The Talent Identification Program of Kentucky (TIP-KYSM) offers above-level testing to assess where students are academically so educators and families can help guide students to relevant resources, appropriate enrichment programming, and other services that will challenge and encourage growth. Join virtually as Jennifer Wilson and Tyler Clark from the Talent Identification Program of Ky speak to our region about this opportunity for students in your district. #sesccoop #servingyou REGISTER HERE: https://app.sesccoop.org/landing/join_activity/TA5ChUQO
