Identification Committee
This group was formed with the intent to define what it means to identify gifted and talented children in the state of Wisconsin. The group’s collaboration developed the Resource Guide that DPI has endorsed and sent to all public schools in Wisconsin.
Gifted & Talented Resource Guide
Offered within its covers are many useful resources for districts, parents, and educators to use for the educational support of gifted and talented students. Each Wisconsin School District Superintendent received a copy of the Guide along with a CD, which allows districts to use the forms within the Guide.

Other Identification Support
Pyramid Model
The Identification Committee recognized that the Pyramid Model was a Guideline for Educational Opportunities. Part of the committee’s work was to develop a pyramid of identification options for each of the areas listed in Standard (t). Those specific pyramids can be found in the Resource Guide (above).
Nomination Form
Parents, students, staff may wish to nominate a student for the gifted and talented program within your school/district. This forms provides a format that you can use with parents, students, or staff.
Inventory Form
The Inventory, adapted from Joseph Renzulli, can be used as an initial look at students. Parents, students, or staff members could complete the inventory and then the gifted and talented committee members can use the information to consider further investigation of the student for gifted and talented.
