When a student is determined to be eligible for gifted/talented services, a G/T Education Plan can be developed. Education Plans should be reviewed annually.
Steps
To develop an initial Education Plan:- Create a G/T Education Plan.
- Select Initial as the plan type.
- Provide relevant dates.
- In Section 1, give background information, including area(s) of gifted identification.
- In Section 2, specify which G/T services the student will receive.
- In Section 3, detail the student's annual goals by clicking add Goal for each goal the student has.
- The G/T committee should meet with the parents to review the plan.
- Share the plan with the parents and provide them with a copy of the Identification Procedures for the district and a copy of the District Service Options.
- Add signatures.
- Mark the document complete.

If a change needs to be made to the plan after it has been completed, the owner can create a
formal amendment.
After an initial plan is developed, the district must get the parents' permission to provide services to their child.
Steps
To obtain parent permission:- Create a Parent Permission Form for G/T Services.
- Fill out the document.
- Share the document with the parents.
- The parents should then either grant or deny their consent for their child to receive G/T services.
- Once the parents respond, fill out the Date received field.
- Complete the document.
An annual plan can be developed in the same manner as an initial plan, or the previous year's plan can be copied to a new document and reviewed for necessary updates.
Steps
To copy an existing plan to a new document:- Locate the previous year's G/T Education Plan on the student's Documents tab.
- Select the document and click Actions > Copy to new document.
- When the new document is created, several of the fields will already be populated with information from the previous plan.
- In the new document, update date fields and select Annual as the plan type.
- Review the rest of the document and make updates as needed.
- Meet to review the plan.
- Parents and members of the G/T committee should add signatures.
- Complete the document.
