Gifted & Talented Education in Connecticut – Renzulli Learning Alignment
How Will Connecticut’s Gifted Learners Shape the Future?
The Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) recognizes gifted and talented students as those with exceptional ability in intellectual, creative, artistic, or leadership domains. Under Connecticut General Statutes §10-76a and §10-76d, school districts are required to identify gifted learners and provide educational opportunities that address their unique needs.
While program development and services are largely determined at the local level, the CSDE provides guidance and expectations that districts use multiple criteria for identification and ensure appropriate instructional differentiation.
Renzulli Learning supports Connecticut’s vision by providing an easy-to-implement, research-based solution that helps districts both comply with state mandates and inspire authentic student growth.

Connecticut defines gifted students as those who demonstrate or show potential for exceptional performance in intellectual, creative, or leadership domains.
Renzulli Learning helps bring this vision to life by:
