| Wilkinsburg School District works with gifted students and their parents to develop a Gifted Individualized Education Program (GIEP) that is appropriate, challenging and engaging for each child. A child may be eligible for gifted education if he/she:
1. Is a year or more above grade achievement level for the normal age group in one or more subjects.
2. Demonstrates an observed or measured rate of acquisition/retention of new academic content or skills that reflect gifted ability.
3. Demonstrates achievement, performance, or expertise in one or more academic areas.
4. Shows early and measured use of high level thinking skills, academic creativity, leadership skills, intense academic interest areas, communication skills, foreign language aptitude, or technology expertise.
5. Has documented.,observed, validated, or assessed evidence that intervening factors are masking gifted ability.
