Identification

1. Nomination: Students may be nominated by: Parent(s), Teacher(s) and Other Professional Personnel. Nominations are sought from a wide variety of sources to ensure that all potentially gifted and talented students have an opportunity to be considered. 

2. Testing: ​Data are collected (on the nominated students) to aid in making decisions for selection of students who are in need of special education services. 

3. Placement/Qualification: Student’s percentiles and scores from the assessment instruments are plotted on the student profile. Each student’s profile is individually evaluated by the Gifted/Talented Committee. A student clearly qualifies for Gifted/Talented services if the data on the profile meets the criteria. Parents are notified about the G/T Committee decision in writing. Placement of students is made in an appropriate program option.
