“Chapter 104” is the Portland Public Schools program for gifted children. In accordance with state law, children are selected for this program on the basis of standardized test scores and teacher recommendations in reading, writing, math, science, and social studies. District consultants work with classroom teachers to provide extensions to classroom lessons that are appropriate for highly able learners. Most Chapter 104 work happens within the context of the regular classroom, with small groups meeting on an occasional basis as needed.
