Gifted and Talented (G/T) education provides advanced learning opportunities for students with exceptional abilities in intellectual, creative, artistic, or leadership areas. Students are nominated by teachers, parents, peers, or themselves and identified through assessments and observations. G/T programs aim to foster critical thinking, creativity, and self-directed learning through advanced curricula, ability-based grouping, and social-emotional skill development. These programs are delivered in various formats, such as specialized classes or enrichment within traditional schools, to help students maximize their potential and achieve well-rounded growth.
