The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines Gifted and Talented as
Having great natural ability: talented
Having a special ability to do something well
However, this is incredibly vague. As a result, educators use several different working definitions to define and quantify Gifted and Talented Children. Two common definitions are provided by NAGC (National Association for Gifted Children) and the CDE (Colorado Department of Education)
NAGC gives a holistic definition, useful for programming
CDE gives policy implementation guidelines to help drive programming and enrichment
Regardless, GT is a legal status within education, entitling the student to resources and opportunities otherwise not available. If you have questions regarding GT identification or benefits, please contact us, CDE, or your local school counselor.
