Title-1

Iowa requires public school districts to provide services for gifted and talented learners and to embed G/T programming in the district’s comprehensive plan. State law defines gifted and talented children and provides categorical funding with rules on appropriate uses; Iowa Administrative Code Chapters 12, 59, and 98.20 outline program expectations, administration, and funding uses.

Renzulli Learning offers an easy-to-implement, research-based platform that helps Iowa districts honor these expectations—by surfacing students’ strengths, supporting day-to-day enrichment, and organizing clear evidence of services.

Cultivating Talent Across the Hawkeye State

Iowa’s framework emphasizes equitable identification, differentiated services beyond the regular program, and responsible use of categorical funds to meet advanced learners’ needs. Districts maintain local procedures consistent with state rule and law.

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 inform services; districts continue to use state-approved instruments for identification and evaluation).

• Supporting student-driven learning strategies—matching enrichment to each student’s interests, strengths, and readiness through SEM-style projects and thousands of curated resources.

• Expanding equity and access with a web-based platform that can be implemented consistently across Iowa’s districts and AEAs.

Turning Iowa’s Vision into Practice

Renzulli Learning helps districts operationalize Iowa’s G/T requirements by:

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

• Delivering differentiated & enriched learning that goes beyond the regular program, aligned to student profiles.

• Streamlining documentation & communication with exportable plans, activity logs, and progress artifacts that support district planning and monitoring consistent with state guidance.
