"The
mission of gifted education is to provide programs and
services that meet the unique cognitive, social, and emotional
needs of gifted students, preparing them to succeed in
a global society."
Project
GAGE, 1993
Florida legislation has identified gifted learners as
a part of the exceptional student education population
since 1968. In Florida, students are eligible for exceptional
education programs if they meet the criteria
outlined in Florida Board of Education Rule 6A-6.03019,
FAC. These criteria focus on a learner's need for the
gifted education program, entry academic skills, general
intellectual functioning, and various behavioral and
intellectual characteristics. Gifted and talented students
are persons of exceptional promise whose capabilities
predict contributions of lasting merit in widely varying
fields. They come from all backgrounds with special
abilities and talents ranging across a wide spectrum of
human achievement. These students abilities, talents and
potential for accomplishment are so outstanding that they
require special provisions to meet their educational needs.
