Welcome to the Rhode Island State Advisory Committee on Gifted and Talented Education Web Site. The purpose of this web site is to provide the base for a statewide network of communication, resource and advocacy for children, parents and educators interested in gifted and talented education. The Advisory Committee exists to advise the Commissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education on all matters relevant to gifted and talented education in Rhode Island. Toward that end, the Advisory Committee membership strives to determine the status of gifted and talented education, to identify needs and to make recommendations to the Commissioner.
