Talent Development
Talent Development
Talent Development (previously Gifted and Talented) programs were created to help advanced learning students achieve the most our of their educational opportunities. The Department of Education recognizes that children with talents have unique learning styles which require special planning and accommodations by school personnel to recognize, develop and nurture.
To help answer questions and administer Advanced and Accelerated programs, each Intermediate School District has its own Consultant. Contact your ISD agent for information in regard to these programs, or for specific questions regarding your district's gifted and talented opportunities. | - List of Advanced and Accerlerated ISD Consultants  | | - Local Advocates for Gifted Education | | - MDE-GT Announcement and Information LISTSERV |

Section 57 Advanced and Accelerated Summer Institute Grant
The Section 57 Advanced and Accelerated Summer Institute Grant is available on the Michigan Electronic Grants System (MEGS) under Certification. Eligible applicants are Intermediate School Districts (ISDs) and Regional Educational Service Agencies (RESAs). Eligible applicants may wish to partner with other ISDs/RESAs to form a consortium. Consortium forms are available with the certification component in MEGS.
The funds are intended for the support of summer institutes for advanced and accelerated pupils. If your ISD or RESA does not engage in activities for the Advanced and Accelerated students and does not enter into a consortium arrangement with other eligible applicants, consider utilizing the funds to support scholarships for students to attend summer workshops at colleges and universities. This is an allowable use of the funds under the current legislation.
These grant funds must be matched by at least 25 percent (25%) from other fund sources. In order to receive these funds, an ISD or RESA must declare that the grant will be used for the intended purpose through the certification process in MEGS.
All certifications are due April 1.
If you have any questions, please contact Sam Sinicropi in the Office of School Improvement, Academic Support Unit, at 517-241-1162 or via e-mail at sinicropis@michigan.gov.
