Oh I should add...she corectly finished all her work before everyone and is left to sit idle. She is allowed to read...but she will finish a book before the teacher is ready to move on. School asked if I was interested in having her skip a grade, I said no.

Unfortunately, no, they aren't in most states. You can advocate for your child's teacher to do differentiation to meet her needs though.
There are some good resources for you below.

learnwithlisa - You're lucky. They don't do an IEP in my area for gifted kids.

YES!!! All schools, where I live anyway, are required to provide a gifted education program to those students who are deemed "gifted". Classifying a child as "gifted" however, can be difficult without professional testing. Once students are labelled as gifted they then have an Individual Education Program (IEP) written for them and it is determined how the school, teachers, parents etc...will participate and implement the program. Schools are given money on a per student need the same as how they receive money for learning assistance...but it is the responsibility of the school to indicate and report their list of "gifted"students to receive the money.

Ruth, i imagine fairly some the answerers are being somewhat puzzling on you. it isn't obtrusive that you've already been said as proficient and that because you haven't then you fairly for sure are not. Einstein change into an total daydreamer in college and his instructors idea him too adle-brained to quantity to at least something. no longer all proficient little ones carry out on the accurate of their classification. some are underachievers. Others conflict with undiagnosed getting to well known disabilities. certain, an fairly good many stand out at an early age yet someone (figure, instructor) should be searching. you may want to correctly be magnificent in literacy and abominable at maths and nonetheless meet proficient criteria. Do you experience smooth speaking on your mom, instructor, or a school counselor to request sorting out? you want to take an in my view administered out-of-element success try and IQ checks for validity. maximum critically, why do you want to carry close? the in straight forward words reason behind sorting out is that if there's a decision to be made that relies upon on the outcomes. Are you unchallenged in college? do you want to bolster a grade ?do you want to take early coursework at a school? until eventually the outcomes will deliver about tangible action, there's no reason behind sorting out. Don;t worry about the label if that is presence or absence received't replace your tutorial trajectory.

It depends on the size of the school. It may just not be in the budget or not enough gifted children. If your child is in fact gifted, which is much different then just really smart then you should let her skip a grade if she is not being challenged in her current grade.

Yes they should. My son is in the gifted program. You don't say what grade your child is in. They usually don't start the gifted class until third grade. That's how it's been for all my children.

Not to my knowledge- special ed for the learning disabled may be a requirement, but for gifted students? It may be a program your school district cannot afford.

i dont believe it is required, and it should not be -- the whole system just needs to be revamped. gifted programs should not even be necessary. we need better teachers who let students go at a personal and individual pace. at least in Michigan there is "schools of choice," which means you can send your child to any school regardless of where you live. made all the difference in the world for my brother and me.
