(1)
The general assembly, recognizing the obligation of the state of Colorado to provide educational opportunities to all children that will enable them to lead fulfilling and productive lives, declares that the purpose of this part 2 is to provide means for identifying and educating those children who are gifted.
(2)
It is the intent of the general assembly that:
(a)
Evidence-based practices support instruction and the social and emotional development of gifted children; and
(b)
Each gifted child is educated in a rigorous learning environment and culture that develops the child's areas of exceptionality and coordinates programs and services among available support systems.
(3)
The general assembly further finds and declares that traditional assessment methods may not adequately identify some gifted children, including children from all socioeconomic, ethnic, and cultural populations and gifted children who also have disabilities. It is therefore the general assembly's intent that the state board, the department, and every administrative unit include all student groups in each administrative unit's procedures for identifying gifted children and for developing educational programs that include gifted children.
(4)
The general assembly declares that, for purposes of section 17 of article IX of the state constitution, gifted education programs are accountable programs to meet state academic standards and may therefore receive funding from the state education fund created in section 17 (4) of article IX of the state constitution.

(1)
Each administrative unit, through its program plan, shall use an identification assessment and review by a team, as described in state board rule, to identify gifted children. The team shall use a body of evidence upon which to base the determination of giftedness, which evidence must include, at a minimum, the identification assessment results, parental input, and multiple types of measures and data sources.
(2)
When a child is identified as gifted, the administrative unit shall ensure that an advanced learning plan is created for the child, which specifies the programming, services, and interventions that correspond to the child's strengths and needs. The administrative unit shall implement each gifted child's advanced learning plan in accordance with the administrative unit's program plan.

(1)
The general assembly finds that various educational advocacy groups, including parents of children identified as having dyslexia, have voiced concerns related to the adequacy and effectiveness of the methods and tools for identifying students who have dyslexia and the adequacy of the educational supports for these students. While there have been various efforts at both the state and school district levels to address the issues related to effective identification and support for students with dyslexia, these efforts have not resulted in significant progress in educating these students. Therefore, the general assembly, recognizing the obligation of the state of Colorado to provide educational opportunities to all children that will enable them to lead fulfilling and productive lives, finds that it is necessary to create a working group of parents and educational experts to review the work of educational experts and local education providers in Colorado and in other states in the area of identification of and educational support for students with dyslexia and to use their findings to inform future efforts by the state and local education providers to identify and effectively support students with dyslexia.
(2)
The general assembly further finds that a pilot program through which the department of education works with a group of volunteer local education providers to use early literacy assessment results to identify markers of dyslexia and provide support to young students who may demonstrate the early markers for dyslexia will strengthen the ability of local education providers throughout the state to identify and effectively support students with dyslexia.
