Abstract
State Board of Education Regulation 43-220 specifies requirements and procedures for identifying gifted and talented students. As described R 43-220, the purposes of the identification process are - to find students who display characteristics of the gifted and talented (i.e., ability or potential for high performance in academic areas); to assess the aptitudes, attributes, and behaviors of each student; and to evaluate each student for the purposes of placement. (24 S.C. Code Ann. Regs. 43-220.2(B)(1)) This description reflects South Carolina’s definition of gifted and talented in R 43-220: “Gifted and talented students are those who are identified in grades one through twelve as demonstrating high-performance ability or potential in academic and/or artistic areas and therefore require an educational program beyond that normally provided by the general school program in order to achieve their potential” (24 S.C. Code Ann. Regs. 43-220.1(A)(1)).
