PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- K-12 assessment and research organization NWEA announced today new guidance for gifted-and-talented service identification and placement developed by a national expert on the topic: Dr. Scott Peters.

Key Points: 
  • "There are advanced learners — those who are underchallenged and could do more — in every school.
  • "This new guide is a reference for schools on how to appropriately utilize data as well as other inputs toward a more equitable approach."
  • Peters notes that this is a subjective, lengthy approach that can miss students who would benefit from advanced learning opportunities.
