The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is committed to ensuring that gifted and talented students are identified and served through rigorous programs that meet their unique academic, creative, and leadership needs. Under the Texas State Plan for the Education of Gifted/Talented Students, districts must use multiple criteria for identification, provide differentiated and challenging instruction, and ensure equitable access to services for all eligible students.

In alignment with Texas’s state plan requirements (TEA Gifted/Talented Education), Renzulli Learning offers a research-based platform that supports personalized enrichment, fosters creativity, and provides tools that help educators meet and exceed state expectations.

Enhancing Talent Development Across the Lone Star State

Texas defines gifted and talented students as those who perform at, or show the potential for performing at, a remarkably high level of accomplishment when compared to others of the same age, experience, or environment.

Renzulli Learning supports this mission by:

• Gaining deeper insights into gifted learners through the Renzulli Profiler, Learning Styles Inventory, Executive Function Assessment, and Leadership Assessment, and supporting identification with the Cebeci Test of Creativity (CTC) — giving educators a robust, well-rounded student profile that complements district assessments.

• Creating individualized enrichment pathways that align with district program goals and each student’s strengths.

• Promoting equitable access to advanced learning opportunities for students in urban, suburban, and rural communities statewide.
