INSTRUCTIONS: I. BACKGROUND California Education Code, Section 52200-52212 which regulates Gifted and Talented Programs permits each school district to develop its own identification criteria for determining the eligibility of students as gifted/talented. At regularly scheduled intervals or as an ongoing process throughout the school year, the site administrator or designee should seek input from teachers and staff, students, community, and parents to gather and analyze existing data to determine the potential of candidates. School personnel may use Attachment D, Local School Search and Referral form, included in this Reference Guide. II. STUDENT REFERRAL An equal opportunity for consideration of referral should be provided at all school sites to all qualifying students. Student referral in the Visual and Performing Arts categories is as follows: A. Grade Level: Second grade and above. B. Deadline: Deadline to submit referrals in the Visual Arts Ability and Performing Arts Ability Categories is three weeks before the talent assessment date. The Districtwide talent assessment in dance, drama, voice, and visual arts is conducted twice a year the third week in November and the third week in May unless otherwise notified. NOTE: For the exact dates and location, school personnel may refer to the online Memorandum titled, Conservatory of Fine Arts Program for Gifted and Potentially Gifted/Talented Students, MEM-5160.0, revised each mid July–early August.

The following list of characteristics will be divided into the following categories: Intellectual Traits and Affective Characteristics of gifted students. INTELLECTUAL TRAITS • Thirst for knowledge to satisfy an inquiring mind. • Strong powers of reasoning, ability to make comparisons and generalizations, and ability to see cause-and-effect relationships. • Ability to concentrate, to become totally submerged and absorbed in an assignment, project, or activity. • Approaches tasks in different, unusual, and original ways. • Ability to use humor to make a point, to change a situation, to gain an advantage, or to connect diverse knowledge. • Has keen capacity for processing information. • Display keen powers of perception and observation that can frequently detect fallacies and inconsistencies. • Is highly motivated to learn a wide variety of subjects at advanced levels. • Shows fluency in his/her native language; uses expressive speech, extensive vocabulary, and communication skills. • May display inner conflicts about academic achievement. • Thinks of and asks questions which involve logical-thinking process. AFFECTIVE CHARACTERISTICS • Is sensitive and empathetic to the feelings of others but is impatient with illogical, sloppy, or disorganized thinking. • Possesses a sense of justice and fairness, intuitively understands why certain behavior is good and another is bad. • Is more sensitive to social and moral issues, particularly those in which the students’ sense of reason seems to be violated. • Likes flexibility in scheduling and experience: is resistant to routine drill. • Daydreams and may appear to be restless—may complete part of the assignment and then take off in a new direction. • Develops an internal locus of control (intrinsic motivation), which means doing or learning for the fun and joy of it without an external reward. • Sets high-level goals for self and others. Likely to use errors and failures constructively. • Demonstrates high-level social skills and leadership qualities (may lead in a negative way). • Enjoys competition but also works in cooperation with others.
