Pennsylvania CHAPTER 16
PAGE is here to help parents and advocate for gifted education in the state of Pennsylvania. PAGE was instrumental in helping to rewrite Chapter 16, the gifted education chapter. So, go out and get started. As a parent, you are your child’s first teacher. You know your child the best. Endeavor to get the best and most appropriate education for your child.
Chapter 16 is Special Education in Pennsylvania
Law. Gifted Education has been placed under the
joint jurisdiction of PDE (Pennsylvania Department of Education) Bureau of Teaching and Learning and Special Education. Gifted education has never been mandated under federal law, but it is mandated under Pennsylvania law. Learning the terminology is one of the biggest challenges to parents. Take some time to familiarize yourself with Chapter 16.
