Title-1

Oklahoma law requires every school district to provide gifted child educational programs and serve identified students who reside in the district.  The state defines “gifted and talented children” in statute and ties identification to state rules; districts then deliver programming beyond the regular classroom.

Oklahoma’s administrative rules further require that programs offer multiple options matched to each student’s needs and interests, and that G/T staff participate in ongoing in-service training specific to gifted education.

Renzulli Learning aligns with this framework by helping districts surface student strengths, supporting student-driven learning strategies, and documenting services aligned to Oklahoma’s statutes and rules.

Cultivating Talent Across the Sooner State

State rule sets procedural safeguards for identification and placement: procedures must be clearly stated and uniformly implemented, placement is based on multiple criteria, and processes are nondiscriminatory.
The Oklahoma State Department of Education’s (OSDE) program hub and FAQs provide additional guidance for families and educators.

Renzulli Learning supports this mission by:

• Building a rich 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 support programming; districts continue to follow Oklahoma’s identification rules and approved measures).

• Supporting student-driven learning strategies by matching authentic enrichment to each student’s interests, strengths, and readiness.

• Scaling equitable access with a web-based platform districts can implement consistently across Oklahoma.

Turning Oklahoma’s Vision into Practice

Renzulli Learning helps districts bring OAC 210:15-23 to life by:

• Adding multiple, strength-based insights (interests, creativity, learning styles, executive function, leadership) alongside district identification evidence and placement criteria.

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

• Streamlining documentation & communication (plans, activity logs, progress artifacts) that support local boards’ responsibility to provide G/T programs and OSDE program expectations.

• Supporting staff development needs with structures and resources that complement the state’s in-service training requirement for G/T personnel.
