Why Self-Assess Your Gifted & Talented Program?

Heartland AEA offers a facilitated program review of your Gifted & Talented program using a tool called the Gifted Self Audit and Planner (G-SAP). The G-SAP is a set of rubrics for districts to evaluate the current state of their gifted program at a K-12 systems level. Rubrics in the G-SAP are aligned to Iowa Code and best practices in current gifted education research.

By engaging in the facilitated G-SAP process, your district team will:

• Learn about Iowa Code requirements for gifted and talented programs and best practices in the field of gifted education and talent development
• Discuss with colleagues to gain a system-wide understanding of your district’s gifted program as implemented
• Use the findings of the review to develop a prioritized work plan for system improvement
