Title-1

Idaho law defines gifted/talented children and requires each public school district to provide instruction and training that meets their special instructional needs.

State rule clarifies program expectations—including a required district Gifted & Talented (GT) plan that must be submitted and updated on a three-year cycle. The Idaho Department of Education notes that while a standalone GT “program” isn’t mandated, GT services are required, and every district maintains a 3-Year Plan describing how it will screen, identify, and serve students.

Renzulli Learning aligns with Idaho’s framework by helping teams understand each learner’s strengths, deliver engaging enrichment beyond the regular program, and keep clear records that support state rule and local plans.

Cultivating Talent Across the Gem State

Idaho’s GT rule requires districts to: (1) screen potentially gifted students, (2) assess those who meet screening criteria, and (3) match student needs with appropriate program options—using multiple indicators (formal and informal) and multiple sources to inform placement.

The state also supports capacity-building (e.g., GT endorsement guidance for educators) and publishes implementation resources and reports to strengthen local practice.

Renzulli Learning supports this mission by:

• Developing a holistic view of each learner with the Renzulli Profiler, Learning Styles Inventory, Executive Function Assessment, Leadership Assessment, and creativity insights via the Cebeci Test of Creativity (to support programming; districts continue to use Idaho’s screening/identification rules and local criteria).

• Supporting student-driven learning strategies that align enrichment to each student’s interests, strengths, and readiness.

• Expanding equitable access with a web-based platform districts can implement consistently across Idaho.

Turning Idaho’s Vision into Practice

Renzulli Learning helps districts put Idaho Code §33-2001/§33-2003 and IDAPA 08.02.03.171 into action by:

• Adding multiple, strength-based insights (interests, creativity, learning styles, executive function, leadership) alongside district screening evidence and state rule requirements.

• Delivering differentiated & enriched learning—thousands of curated resources and Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM) project tools that extend depth, complexity, and creativity beyond the regular program.

• Streamlining documentation & communication—exportable plans, activity logs, and progress artifacts that fit district 3-Year Plan goals and updates.
