In addition to these specific services, students identified as gifted also benefit from the work that the Gifted Education Specialists do on the students' behalf within the schools. Specialists consult with general education teachers in order to meet the intellectual needs of gifted students within the general education setting, including curriculum planning assistance, differentiation planning assistance, consultation about the individual needs of specific students, and other areas as needed.

Specialists can also provide training for school staff in meeting the needs of gifted students, including differentiating instruction, challenging students intellectually, supporting students' social and emotional needs, assisting underachieving students, facilitating future planning, and additional topics as needs emerge.

Gifted Education Curriculum focuses on essential skills for students to develop, and it facilitates students’ college and career readiness. These skills are grouped in six strands:

• Research Skills
  
  
• Critical and Creative Thinking Skills
  
  
• Leadership Skills
  
  
• Problem Solving Skills
  
  
• Social and Emotional Skills
  
  
• Technology Skills

For each level, these skills are embedded into group and individualized learning experiences personalized for the age and ability of each student. These skills provide the foundation upon which all the activities and experiences are built, allowing gifted students to be intellectually challenged in unique, meaningful ways.
