Gifted and Talented Overview

Recognizing that a small portion of students are atypical, exceptional learners who require specialized learning experiences, the Readington Township Schools will provide opportunities to appropriately address the needs of these students. Gifted and talented children are those whose learning characteristics and educational needs require qualitatively differentiated educational experiences and services. 

Identification of Candidates for the Gifted and Talented Program 

The K-8 Gifted and Talented programs in Readington Township Schools are needs-based. These programs are intended for those students who exhibit intellectual and/or academic abilities requiring additional and appropriate educational challenges and opportunities to meet those needs. The criteria for admission to the Gifted & Talented Program include a variety of data points, which may vary depending on a student’s grade level. A combination of standardized test scores, student work samples, classroom grades, and teacher input are considered when determining eligibility.
