How students are considered
Published processThe district may consider universal screening, cognitive results, academic achievement, classroom performance, teacher recommendations, parent input, and additional evidence of ability or potential. Multiple data points are required and no single assessment determines eligibility.
What service can look like
Published modelServices are matched to individual strengths and may include enrichment, differentiated instruction, advanced learning, project-based work, creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving rather than one fixed placement.
Your starting checklist
Turn the published process into clear next steps.
Confirm current instructions with the district before submitting. Bloomfield does not predict placement or reproduce protected assessments.
01Contact the Director of Teaching and Learning and request the current talented and gifted referral process.
02Describe the student's academic, intellectual, creative, leadership, or specific talent strengths with concrete examples.
03Provide work, achievement history, parent observations, and other evidence that may not appear in universal screening.
04Ask which cognitive, achievement, classroom, teacher, family, and additional evidence the review team will use and when it will decide.
05If identified, request a written service plan describing the enrichment, differentiation, advanced work, projects, and progress measures matched to the student.
