A Systematic Approach to the Identification Process

Log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

During this session, participants will see how one school district transformed their student identification process in order to create a transparent and comprehensive system utilizing locally normed data. Beginning with a talent pool to an appeal process, our program includes both talented and gifted students that may not have been considered in the past. Participants will receive copies of our handbook, flowchart, matrix documents, parent and teacher checklists in order to springboard their own program reform.
