1st-4th Grade GT Assessment 20-21

The Texas State Plan for the Education of Gifted/Talented Students guides the GT Services Assessment Plan for Coppell ISD.
Equity is a concern as we cannot require in-person testing and we have learners in both remote and face-to-face learning environments.

1st-4th Grade GT Assessment 20-21

The district is already utilizing multiple digital assessment tools to collect quantitative data on learners
These tools are the same for remote and face-to-face learners

1st-4th Grade GT Assessment 20-21

A variety of standardized teacher rating scales will be used to collect the qualitative data for identification
Classroom educators will complete those scales by mid-January
GTi Specialists may conduct interviews as needed

1st-4th Grade GT Assessment 20-21

All gathered assessment information (quantitative and qualitative data points) will be reviewed by the campus Gifted and Talented Committee (GTC)
Based on the collected data, the GTC will determine whether a learner demonstrates a need for GT Services

1st-4th Grade GT Assessment 20-21

Sometimes, the GTC requests additional data be gathered on a learner before making a determination - if that happens with your learner, you will be notified on an individual basis
Eligibility notifications will occur on or before March 1, 2021 and services will begin for identified learners as soon as a signed “permission to serve” form is obtained
