Washington County, Colorado

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.
