What the evidence confirms
Gifted and Talented Education
Following a comprehensive audit of the district's Gifted & Talented program during the 2024–2025 school year, Leonia Public Schools developed a multi-year Plan Forward to strengthen services for advanced learners.
How services work: In short: enrichment broadens learning for all; gifted and talented services provide specialized programming for identified students with demonstrated advanced learning needs.
How students are identified: Convened Gifted & Talented committees at the elementary and middle school levels, bringing together staff and parents to develop common language, review cognitive assessment measures, and build a multiple-measures identification matrix.
