Title-1

The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) serves gifted learners under 22 Pa. Code Chapter 16: Special Education for Gifted Students, which requires districts to locate and identify students who are gifted, conduct a Gifted Multidisciplinary Evaluation (GMDE), and develop a Gifted Individualized Education Plan (GIEP) when specially designed instruction is needed. Chapter 16 also outlines procedures such as the Gifted Written Report (GWR), placement decisions, and due process.

Renzulli Learning aligns with Chapter 16 by helping districts gather multiple measures, personalize enrichment aligned to strengths, and streamline documentation to support compliant GIEPs.

Cultivating Talent Across the Keystone State

Pennsylvania expects districts to provide appropriately challenging, differentiated services and ensure access for students with advanced potential—including those with dual exceptionalities (both gifted and disability). PDE guidance addresses documentation, service delivery, and caseload considerations.

Renzulli Learning supports this mission by:

• Building holistic learner profiles with the Renzulli Profiler, Learning Styles Inventory, Executive Function Assessment, Leadership Assessment, and support for identification via the Cebeci Test of Creativity.

• Supporting student-driven learning strategies that match enrichment to each learner’s strengths and interests.

• Facilitating equitable access through a web-based platform usable across Pennsylvania’s diverse districts.

Turning Pennsylvania’s Vision into Practice

Renzulli Learning helps teams deliver on Chapter 16 by:

• Multiple-criteria student insights that complement GMDE procedures (interests, creativity, learning styles, EF/leadership).

• Differentiated & enriched learning with thousands of curated resources and SEM-based projects aligned to GIEP goals.

• Documentation & reporting that supports GWR inputs, GIEP services, and monitoring needs (including dual-exceptionality guidance).
