What the evidence confirms
Gifted and Talented Education
The gifted identification process is undertaken each year, and involves the evaluation of data for students already in our gifted education programs as well as those who have not yet received services.
How services work: Gifted education services include pull-out programs, subject-based enrichment, and school-wide learning experiences.
How students are identified: Academically gifted and talented students in this country make up approximately six to ten percent of the total student population, so by its very nature, only a small portion of students will be eligible for services.
