Title-1

Tennessee identifies gifted students under the state category “Intellectually Gifted.” State Board rules define these learners and require districts to use multiple indicators and a multidisciplinary process to determine eligibility for specially designed instruction; when needed, services are delivered through an Individualized Education Program (IEP). Districts may also offer advanced academic programs in addition to special education services.

Renzulli Learning aligns with this framework by helping schools understand student strengths, deliver authentic enrichment beyond the core program, and document services that complement Tennessee’s evaluation and eligibility standards.

Cultivating Talent Across the Volunteer State

Tennessee expects districts to evaluate students using multiple measures (e.g., cognition, educational performance, creativity) and to consider the needs of learners from all populations—including English learners and twice-exceptional students—when determining eligibility and the need for specially designed instruction.

Renzulli Learning supports this vision by:

• Building a rich learner profile with the Renzulli Profiler, Learning Styles Inventory, Executive Function Assessment, Leadership Assessment, and creativity insights via the Cebeci Test of Creativity (to complement, not replace, local measures).

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

• Broadening access with a web-based platform that works across Tennessee’s diverse districts and schools.

Turning Tennessee’s Vision into Practice

Renzulli Learning helps teams put state expectations into daily practice by:

• Multiple-criteria student insights that add depth to locally selected screening and evaluation evidence (interests, creativity, learning styles, executive function, leadership).

• Differentiated & enriched learning through thousands of interest-based resources and SEM-style project tools that extend depth, complexity, and creativity beyond the regular program.

• Documentation & communication features that capture services, goals, and artifacts—useful for IEP development and ongoing progress monitoring.
