Highly capable students perform or show potential for performing at significantly advanced academic levels when compared with others of their age, experiences, or environments. Outstanding abilities are seen within students' general intellectual aptitudes, specific academic abilities, and/or creative productivities within a specific domain. Highly Capable services are provided to students who have been identified as in need of services through a referral process. A Gifted Learner differs from a High Achieving student or a Creative Thinker. Students who are highly capable may possess these learning characteristics (among others):
Capacity to learn with unusual depth of understanding, to retain what has been learned, and to transfer learning to new situations.
Capacity and willingness to deal with increasing levels of abstraction and complexity earlier than their peers.
Creative ability to make unusual connections among ideas and concepts.
Ability to learn quickly in their area(s) of intellectual strength.
Capacity for intense concentration and/or focus.
