What the evidence confirms

Gifted and Talented Education

Individual evaluations may be recommended by the PPT in appropriate circumstances, such as when there is a possibility of identifying the student as gifted and talented in areas that are not typically addressed by large-scale standardized tests, such as social studies, a technical discipline, music, creative arts, or performing arts.

How services work: Connecticut State Department of Education, Gifted and Talented Education: Guidance Regarding Identification and Service (March 2019), available at https://portal.ct.gov/-/media/SDE/Gifted-and-Talented/Gifted-and-Talented-Education---Guidance.pdf .

How students are identified: The PPT shall be responsible for conducting evaluations and identifying whether students are eligible as gifted and talented, and shall meet, as needed during the school year to determine the eligibility of groups of children for whom evaluation and identification as gifted and talented are planned.

State context

Connecticut gifted identification framework

Connecticut requires districts to identify gifted and talented students, but state law does not require districts to provide a gifted program.

For families: An identification record does not guarantee a dedicated program. Ask the district what acceleration, enrichment, or other services it currently offers.
