How are the gifted and talented identified?
Gifted students in Campbell County Schools are identified through their outstanding intellectual capabilities, academic aptitudes, creative abilities, leadership abilities and/or visual and performing arts abilities. A combination of testing and documentation is required for placement into the gifted and talented program. The Campbell County Schools Gifted and Talented Handbook (link on the right) provides more information regarding the program.
A combination of screening and documentation is used to determine placement in the Primary Academic Talent Pool (Kindergarten through Grade 3). Placement in the Primary Talent Pool is not a Gifted and Talented identification. Gifted and Talented identification begins in Grade 4 and is reviewed through Grade 12.
Formal identification of students in Grades 4-12 includes a combination of formal and informal measures, specific to the five categories of giftedness.
