  2. Program Evaluation • Educational Consultant: • Jackie Drummer, an educational consultant, was commissioned to evaluate specific components of the HASD GATE plan. On October 26th, 2009, she traveled to each school and met with nineteen focus groups. Jackie interviewed approximately 80 people: parents, students, teachers, administrators, GATE staff and Board members. • Acknowledgements: • “Evidence from both the documents and from focus groups indicates that there are options and services that meet the mission and philosophy of the HASD GATE program, especially in the academic and intellectual areas.” • Recommendations: • Train HHS staff in characteristics of gifted learners, gifted education pedagogy, and in using assessments to plan and provide differentiated instruction
