The South Dakota Department of Education website is very user friendly and easy to use. They include information on college readiness coursework, grant and scholarship information, out-of-school time engagement programs, and more. South Dakota seemingly has no gifted/talented education programs though it does provide advanced learning opportunities and dual credits. To learn more about what South Dakota’s Department of Education has to offer, please explore the links below in more depth.
Note: While we continually check for current state standards, states often revise and update standards and various resources. Please make sure to double check that the information you are using is up-to-date for your state.
