On June 1, 2005 the State Board of Education
readopted with amendments N.J.A.C. 6A: 8,
Standards and Assessment for Student Achievement,
which includes more specific requirements for gifted
and talented programs.
Those students who possess or demonstrate high levels of
ability, in one or more content areas, when compared to
their chronological peers in the local district and who
require modification of their educational program if they
are to achieve in accordance with their capabilities.

All public schools must have a board-approved gifted and
talented program.
Students are to be compared with their peers in the local school
district.
District boards of education shall make provisions for an ongoing
K-12 identification process for gifted and talented students that
includes multiple measures, including but not limited to,
achievement test scores, grades, student performance or products,
intelligence testing, parent, student and/or teacher
recommendation, and other appropriate measures.
The regulations do not establish state-level criteria for giftedness
(such as an IQ score or grade point average). Specific tests are not
required to be used to identify gifted and talented students.
Local school districts should ensure that the identification
methodology used is developmentally appropriate, nondiscriminatory, and related to the programs and services offered
(e.g., use math achievement to identify students for a math

program).

N.J.A.C. 6A: 8-3.1(a)5 ii requires local district boards of education
to provide appropriate K-12 educational services for gifted and
talented students. Therefore, the identification process and
appropriate educational challenges must begin in kindergarten.
The rules require district boards of education to develop
appropriate curricular and instructional modifications for gifted
students. Programs must address appropriate content, process,
products, and learning environment.
District boards of education shall take into consideration the Pre
K-Grade 12 Gifted Program Standards of the National Association
for Gifted Children (NAGC) in developing programs for gifted
and talented students. The NAGC standards establish requisite
and exemplary gifted program standards and can be accessed at
NAGC Standard.
Each curriculum framework developed by the department
provides general as well as content-specific information on gifted
education (e.g., terminology, examples of appropriate practices).

“People are like stained-glass windows. They
sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when
the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed
only if there is a light from within.”
