Title-1

Virginia serves gifted students under the Regulations Governing Educational Services for Gifted Students (8VAC20-40), which apply to all school divisions K–12. The regulations define gifted learners and set expectations for identification, services, and accountability statewide.

The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) provides program guidance, resources, and public information for families and educators on gifted identification and services.

Cultivating Talent Across the Commonwealth

Virginia requires that divisions use multiple criteria to identify gifted learners and that procedures seek out students from all backgrounds, including those who are economically disadvantaged, English learners, or students with disabilities.

Renzulli Learning supports this vision by:

• Developing rich learner profiles with the Renzulli Profiler, Learning Styles Inventory, Executive Function Assessment, and Leadership Assessment, plus creativity data via the Cebeci Test of Creativity to complement local identification processes.

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

• Broadening access with a web-based platform that works across Virginia’s diverse divisions, large and small.

Turning Virginia’s Vision into Practice

Renzulli Learning helps divisions put 8VAC20-40 into action by:

• Multiple-criteria student insights that add depth to locally selected identification measures (interests, creativity, learning styles, executive function, leadership). 

• Differentiated & enriched learning through thousands of interest-based resources and SEM-style project tools aligned to student strengths.

• Evidence & reporting features that capture services and student artifacts—useful for local monitoring and public program reporting.
