The Gifted tool tracks a student's participation in Gifted and Talented programming through enrichment, acceleration, and/or advanced curriculum. Schools can record a student's participation that includes a specific type of program or location or focus, note permission to participate, and generate a summary report of the entered data.

State Definition of Gifted
The state of Arizona defines Gifted as "the appropriate academic course offerings and services that are required to provide an educational program that is an integral part of the regular school day and that is commensurate with the academic abilities and potential of a gifted pupil. Gifted pupil is defined as a child who is of lawful school age, who due to superior intellect or advanced learning ability, or both, is not afforded an opportunity for otherwise attainable progress and development in regular classroom instruction and who needs appropriate gifted education services, to achieve at levels commensurate with the child's intellect and ability."
Gifted Logic
Records can overlap, meaning the student may have multiple Gifted records that do not have an End Date. A separate record should be created for each need. To ensure only one Student Program Association is sent to ADE, the start date should be the same for each Gifted record.
Students who have at least one of the need descriptors detailed below generate Average Daily Membership (ADM) that is funded at the new 0.007 add-on weight for educational programs for gifted pupils.
