State research baseline

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.

Kiowa County School District No. RE-1

Gifted Education / Advanced Learning Plan (ALP)

Colorado's Exceptional Children's Educational Act requires administrative units—including districts and multi-district BOCES—to identify and serve gifted learners.

Research scope: This record confirms the statewide requirement or framework, not a locally named program. Applicability can differ for charter or special-purpose agencies; confirm the district's current services.

How services work: Every identified learner receives an Advanced Learning Plan with standards-based academic and affective goals and programming aligned to individual strengths and needs. Local administrative-unit plans describe the available services.

How students are identified: Identification begins with referral or universal screening and uses a body of evidence gathered from multiple sources over time; no single data point determines gifted identification.

Grades
Ages 5–21; optional early access for younger learners
