Student Assessment – What is the identification process for students grades K-12?
All Kindergarten students are screened in the fall. Students nominated for GT identification in grades 1-8 will be screened once during any academic year and in grade 9-12 may be screened once each semester. Nominated students who meet screening criteria are assessed using instruments determined by the PISD GT Identification Committee. At least two different types of data, qualitative and quantitative, are used in the identification process. Assessment instruments may include, but are not limited to: Ability Testing, Achievement Testing, Teacher Perception Inventory, Work Samples, and Student Portfolio.
