All gifted Poudre School District youth are identified by their strength areas and needs.  PSD educational programming is designed and implemented to match their identified needs.  Student progress and achievement is monitored through on-going dynamic assessment.  Teachers of gifted students participate in professional development to increase knowledge, skills and understanding of gifted students and required instruction.
Gifted children means those persons between the ages of five and twenty-one whose abilities, talents, and potential for accomplishment are so outstanding that they require special provisions to meet their educational needs.  Gifted students include gifted students with disabilities (i.e. twice exceptional) and students with exceptional abilities or potential from all socio-economic and ethnic, cultural populations.
