| As
stated in the Standards Manual, "To assist local school districts
in examining the quality of their programming for gifted learners,
the National Association for Gifted Children adopted a framework of
requisite, or minimal, standards that describe nominal requirements
for satisfactory programs. The exemplary, or visionary, levels of
performance represent excellence in gifted education programming.
These standards may serves as: (1) benchmarks for measuring the
effectiveness of programming; (2) criteria for program evaluation;
(3) guidelines for program development; and (4) recommendations for
minimal requirements for high-quality gifted education programming"
(p. xi)
NAGC
identifies seven critical and essential criteria of gifted
education programming, each represented as a standard. You may
