    In compliance with the Oregon TAG mandate for gifted education, Portland Public Schools focuses its services on meeting the student's instructional level and rate of learning every day in the classroom across the curriculum. Classroom teachers assess a student's level and rate in all subject areas and modify the instruction to provide appropriate content challenge and instructional pacing. 
    To facilitate this approach, the principal is responsible to oversee the identification process, arrange staff development and parent meetings, and act as an on-site resource for gifted education in the school. From the district office, TAG TOSA's (Teachers On Special Assignment) and achievement coordinators assist in identification procedures, alternative program options, staff development, parent meetings, and instructional planning to meet students' needs.
We are located in the PPS TAG Office at Rice:
