journey of continuous discoveries. In order to promote the idea of the continuous journey of discovery, I believe all students have the ability to learn all the disciplines offered with in their education. Whether the student is gifted, an average student, or one that needs the support of Special Education.

It is designed to meet eligibility criteria for special program placement, including ELL, gifted and special education (GADOE, 2011). Georgia's Tier 4 does not specify a location for implementing services but indicate a layer of interventions and strategies taught in the general education class. (GADOE).

the newest budget cuts. More often than not, the answer revolves around one thing only. “Because of recent loss of funds, we must cut arts education from the system.” To some, this idea may seem absurd.
