Julie Clark
Jenison Public School Elementary Gifted/Taltented Teacher
Jenison, MI
My name is Julie Clark, and I have been serving as the elementary Gifted/Talented teacher for Jenison Public Schools (just west of Grand Rapids) for the past seven years. The ACT Program (the acronym a variation of ACademically Talented) is designed as an academic enrichment pull-out program specifically tailored for academically talented children. Meeting each school week, the curriculum promotes advanced academics in the core subject areas of Social Studies, Language Arts, Math, and Science. For the 2020-2021 school year, my program has been virtual, and I have been learning so many new and interactive tools for teaching classes online.
