New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New York City Department of Education (DOE) Chancellor David C. Banks today announced that applications for the expanded kindergarten and third grade Gifted & Talented programs will open next Tuesday, May 31, 2022.
“By expanding our Gifted & Talented program to all New York City districts, we are giving every young person an opportunity to grow, to learn, to explore their talents and imagination, and we are making sure no child is left behind,” said Mayor Adams. “Working with families, teachers, and community leaders, we were able to make this expansion happen, and now students from every school district will be able to access a Gifted & Talented program.”
“Family and community engagement is critical to the success of our students and of this program,” said Chancellor Banks. “Thank you to our superintendents, community leaders, and families for working together with us to ensure there is access to the Gifted & Talented program in every community. We are also grateful to our pre-K teachers for undertaking this enormous effort to ensure that each and every student is screened for this opportunity.”
As part of the city’s ongoing commitment to center families in this process, the DOE’s Office of Student Enrollment is hosting virtual information sessions on May 24, May 26, and June 1 with live interpretation in Arabic, Bangla, Chinese, French, Haitian Creole, Korean, Russian, Spanish, and Urdu. Through these sessions, families will learn about Gifted & Talented program types, eligibility, and how to apply, and they will have the opportunity to ask questions.
Registration for these events can be found online.
For kindergarten nominations, pre-K program leadership and staff were provided guidance — including curiosity and approaches to learning, as well as guidance that reminds teachers that children who demonstrate gifted behaviors often come from diverse backgrounds and have different abilities — in alignment with the National Association for Gifted Children in advance of the nomination process. All educators were provided with coaching to answer any questions about the nomination tool and assessment criteria. Currently, 89 percent of all pre-K programs have submitted their nominations, and DOE staff are working with programs to resolve any pending nominations.
Using grades in the four core subject areas — English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies — the top 10 percent of second graders at each school will be invited to apply for the third grade Gifted & Talented program. This method ensures that district programs are representative of the district’s population and that the DOE is using multiple measures to determine eligibility.
As part of the previously announced Gifted & Talented program expansion, this process was flexible and responsive to the needs and voices of families and communities. Now — for the first time ever — students in every district will have at least one entry point into this program in both kindergarten or third grade, with the possibility for additional programs particularly in third grade based on community interest.
Superintendents worked in close partnership with their Community Education Councils and community stakeholders to determine local needs and the best locations for expanded Gifted & Talented sites. In all districts, community interest and geographic access to programs weighed heavily into these decisions.
The new sites indicated below with an asterisk (*) were selected based on a host of criteria, including interest, geography, ease of transportation, historical access to the program, and community feedback.
