For the purposes of identification, special programming, and intervention, the Mountain View School District’s definition of gifted and talented is consistent with the state of Arkansas’ Department of Education’s definition:

“Gifted and talented children and youth are those of high potential or ability whose learning characteristics and educational needs require qualitatively differentiated educational experiences and/or services.

Possession of these talents and gifts, or the potential for their development, will be evidenced through an interaction of above average intellectual ability, task commitment and/or motivation, and creative ability.
