Gifted individuals are those who demonstrate outstanding levels of aptitude (defined as an
exceptional ability to reason and learn) or competence (documented performance or
achievement in top 10% or rarer) in one or more domains. Domains include any structured area
of activity with its own symbol system (e.g., mathematics, music, language) and/or set of
sensorimotor skills (e.g., painting, dance, sports).
NC ARTICLE 9B The General Assembly believes the public schools should challenge all
students to aim for academic excellence and that academically or intellectually gifted students perform or show the potential to perform at substantially high
levels of accomplishment when compared with others of their age, experience, or environment.
Academically or intellectually gifted students exhibit high performance capability in intellectual areas, specific academic fields, or in both intellectual
areas and specific academic fields.
Academically or intellectually gifted students require differentiated educational services beyond those ordinarily provided by the regular educational program.
Outstanding abilities are present in students from all cultural groups, across all economic strata, and in all areas of human endeavor.
