The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction recommends that, in a general population of students, approximately 20% need challenges with above grade level expectations. Since Cedarburg students traditionally score above both the state and national populations, our basic curriculum and instruction supports a higher level of achievement. Most challenge needs are met through instructional differentiation that may include small group experiences with students of similar abilities and talents. A small number of students will require an Individual Differentiated Education Plan. The purpose of gifted and talented programming in the Cedarburg School District is to recognize, nurture, and support the needs of students whose academic, intellectual, creative, emotional, and leadership capabilities transcend the regular curriculum.
