The Summit ESC Gifted Education Consultants work collaboratively throughout our school districts to meet the needs of our gifted students and families. Our goal is to provide leadership in the development and improvement of gifted education. To support the districts in Summit County, the gifted education team provides services, professional development, and ongoing communication about gifted education to the Summit Area Educators and community.
Gifted Operating Standards
The State of Ohio recently revised the Operating Standards for Identification and Service for gifted students. As a result, districts are in the process of realigning their servicing criteria. Although gifted identification is mandated by Ohio law, services for gifted students are not mandated.
