Maryland gifted and talented education requirements

Maryland requires universal screening no later than grade 3, additional identification in grades 3–5 and 6–9, and differentiated services during the regular school day.

What this means for families: Every Maryland system must publish an equitable identification process, identify a significant number in every school and at least 10% systemwide, and provide services that accelerate, extend, or enrich instruction.

Gifted & Talented Program

Worcester develops advanced problem solvers and creative thinkers through differentiated curriculum, enrichment, and student-centered discovery learning.

How services work: Primary Talent Development and Kingore lessons nurture and observe talent in PreK–3; identified students receive modifications to content, process, product, and learning environment through later grades.

How students are identified: Formal identification occurs in spring of grade 3, informed by talent-development and Kingore evidence gathered from PreK through grade 3 and the district’s broader screening process.
