The purpose of this document is to establish the minimum standards for approval of programs which meet the requirements of the Standards of Accreditation adopted by the State Board of Education February 22, 1984, and have been effective since June 1, 1987. Included are guidelines, which enable school districts to: (1) Establish equitable criteria for identification of gifted and talented students; (2) Establish programs which will lead to appropriate educational opportunities for these students; and (3) Establish procedures to evaluate the effectiveness of the provisions of these educational opportunities. School districts may choose to work cooperatively to develop and operate programs for their gifted students. Any mention of "district" in this document applies also to a group of districts working as a cooperative. This definition does not include Educational Service Cooperatives established under Act 349 of 1985. Standards for approved programs are listed on the following pages. Evidence verifying compliance should be kept on file in the district so that it will be available for review by the Department of Education when the district is monitored. Appendices include: (1) Gifted Education Organizations; and (2) Gifted Education Resources. [Cover title may vary.].

Faced with budget challenges, many districts cannot afford to hire an outside consultant to conduct a formal evaluation of their gifted programs. Districts may wish to conduct their own in-house program evaluation. The second edition of Gifted Program Evaluation: A Handbook for Administrators and Coordinators is designed to assist administrators in designing, conducting, and reporting on an evaluation of their gifted programs. Written with the busy administrator in mind, this handbook includes an overview of evaluating programs to ensure that (1) the program structure is based on best practice, (2) students are achieving at levels commensurate with their abilities, and (3) the program develops skills that gifted students will need to be meaningful contributors in society, including higher level thinking, communication, and affective skills. The book provides all of the tools to assist evaluators, including an in-depth description of how to conduct a program evaluation, the mechanics of collecting and analyzing a variety of different data sources, and how to organize, write, and share the findings. It also features reproducibles, including interview and survey question banks, classroom observation tools, professional development forms, and program element checklists.
