​

• Students in kindergarten through 12th grade are eligible to be screened for Gifted and Talented (GT) in Austin ISD through a nomination process.
• All campuses in Austin ISD provide screening, identification, and services for Gifted and Talented students.
• ​Elementary GT services include instruction by a teacher with the appropriate GT Foundations training within a cluster grouping model (small group of identified GT students within the general education classroom) which allows for opportunities for curricular tasks that include greater depth, complexity, and pacing while working independently and with other GT students as well as students not identified.
