Title-1

Wyoming statute treats gifted and talented learners as a special-needs population and requires districts to provide programs designed to meet their needs beyond the regular program. The law defines gifted and talented students and places responsibility on each district to offer qualitatively differentiated services.

The Wyoming Department of Education (WDE) also confirms that districts are responsible for identifying gifted/talented students, with WDE offering guidance and assistance.

Cultivating Talent Across the Equality State

Wyoming’s accreditation and instructional guidance call for qualitatively differentiated instruction and enriched opportunities for learners who have already met grade-level expectations.

WDE maintains statewide data elements (e.g., a student-level Gifted/Talented identification flag and a GT course designation) to support consistent scheduling, reporting, and visibility for services.

Renzulli Learning supports this mission by:

• Developing 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 programming; districts continue to follow Wyoming law and local procedures for identification).

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

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

Turning Wyoming’s Vision into Practice

Renzulli Learning helps districts operationalize statute and WDE guidance by:

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

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

• Streamlining documentation & communication—plans, activity logs, and exportable progress artifacts that align with WDE data elements and local reporting.

• Aligning to Wyoming’s MTSS supports by making enrichment and advanced options easy to plan and monitor within a tiered framework.
