Title-1

Mississippi requires every public school district to provide gifted education for intellectually gifted students in grades 2–6. Districts may also operate programs for intellectually gifted (7–12), creatively gifted (2–12), artistically gifted (2–12), and academically gifted (9–12), following state regulations. These programs must deliver learning that is in addition to and different from the regular classroom.

Renzulli Learning complements this framework with an easy-to-implement, research-based platform that helps schools engage gifted learners, extend depth and creativity, and keep clear records aligned to state expectations.

Cultivating Talent Across the Magnolia State

Mississippi’s regulations define gifted education as specialized instruction that meets individual student needs and require districts to follow state processes for referral, evaluation, eligibility rulings, and placement. Updates also address student transfers and acceptance of out-of-state gifted eligibilities.

Renzulli Learning supports this mission by:

• Building a holistic picture of each learner with the Renzulli Profiler, Learning Styles Inventory, Executive Function Assessment, Leadership Assessment, and creativity insights via the Cebeci Test of Creativity (used to inform services, while districts continue to follow Mississippi’s identification criteria).

• Supporting student-driven learning strategies—curating enrichment aligned to each student’s interests, strengths, and readiness.

• Expanding equity and access with a web-based platform districts can implement consistently across schools and grade bands.

Turning Mississippi’s Vision into Practice

Renzulli Learning helps districts bring Mississippi’s regulations to life by:

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

• Delivering differentiated & enriched learning through thousands of curated resources and Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM)-style projects—experiences that go beyond the regular program.

• Streamlining documentation and communication (plans, activities, progress artifacts) for local monitoring and state reviews.
