What Does Gifted & Talented Mean?
Gifted & Talented is a professional term
that describes a small portion (3-5%) of
the general population.
Individuals with abilities to perform
exceedingly far and beyond their peers.
All children have strengths, skills, talents,
and abilities that will allow each to be a
successful, accomplished member of
society, but not all children are gifted.

Assumptions About Gifted
GT is different; it is not “better” or “best”
Special instructional services for gifted students are meant
to nurture and develop innate abilities through
appropriate learning opportunities.
Gifted students study the district’s
prescribed curriculum.
Gifted students do not do “more work” nor
do they “work harder” to achieve the same
classroom grades.

grades
