Empower Indiana's Gifted Learners with Personalized Enrichment
Gifted & Talented Education in Indiana – Renzulli Learning Alignment
How Will Indiana’s Gifted Learners Shape the Future?
Indiana law defines “high ability students” and requires every public school corporation to operate a high ability program that identifies and serves students who need more than the core curriculum to be appropriately challenged. State statute calls for a multifaceted assessment process and a locally developed plan to guide services K–12.
Renzulli Learning aligns with this framework by providing an easy-to-implement, research-based platform that helps schools understand each learner’s strengths, personalize enrichment, and document services in line with state expectations.
Cultivating Talent Across the Hoosier State
Indiana identifies high ability students using multiple measures (performance-based, potential-based, and other assessments) to ensure equitable access, including for students who may be overlooked by traditional tests.
Renzulli Learning supports this mission by:
Developing a holistic picture of each learner via the Renzulli Profiler, Learning Styles Inventory, Executive Function Assessment, Leadership Assessment, and creativity insights via the Cebeci Test of Creativity (to support local identification decisions and programming).
Supporting student-driven learning strategies by matching enrichment to each learner’s interests, strengths, and readiness.
Scaling equity and access with a web-based platform usable across Indiana’s diverse districts and charters.
Turning Indiana’s Vision into Practice
Indiana statute (IC 20-36) and rule require a locally created program plan, use of multifaceted assessments, and services that are differentiated in depth and breadth beyond the regular curriculum. Renzulli Learning helps districts operationalize these expectations by:
Adding multiple-criteria student insights (interests, creativity, learning styles, executive function, leadership) to complement locally selected measures.
Providing thousands of enrichment resources and Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM)-style project tools to extend depth, complexity, and creativity.
Streamlining documentation and communication with built-in planning, progress evidence, and exportable summaries for local review and grant reporting.
