Colorado gifted education requirements

Colorado requires administrative units to identify and serve gifted learners and to maintain comprehensive and annual program plans under the Exceptional Children's Educational Act.

What this means for families: Identification uses a body of evidence rather than one score. Every identified learner receives an Advanced Learning Plan, while available programming and optional early access vary locally.
