Gifted & Talented Learners

Students identified as having gifts and talents are those who perform, or have demonstrated the capability to perform at higher levels compared to other students of the same age, experience, and environment in one or more areas. 

These students require teaching modifications and access to appropriate learning opportunities to fulfill their potential.

As a part of the Statewide System of Support, State Support Teams work closely with the Ohio Department of Education to provide training, resources, and technical assistance to schools and districts as they strive to ensure that each child has access to a high-quality education. The documents, policies, and laws shared here provide the foundation to this work.
