Talent Development

Talent Development
Talent Development (previously Gifted and Talented) programs were created to help advanced learning students achieve the most our of their educational opportunities. The Department of Education recognizes that children with talents have unique learning styles which require special planning and accommodations by school personnel to recognize, develop and nurture.

To help answer questions and administer Advanced and Accelerated programs, each Intermediate School District has its own Consultant. Contact your ISD agent for information in regard to these programs, or for specific questions regarding your district's gifted and talented opportunities.
