Screening and identification procedures shall be systematic and continuous across K – 8, thereby meeting the expectations of Wisconsin State Standard (t). The result of the screening and identification process will provide evidence of a student’s exceptional capabilities that transcend the general curriculum and guide the development of an individualized learning plan (ILP).
Procedures:
1.The process of screening and identification is initiated by completing the Gifted and Talented Nomination Form and the Checklist of Characteristics For Areas of Giftedness. Staff, families, students, and community members may initiate this process.
2.The district school psychologist and building learning coordinator will collaborate to determine appropriate assessments. The evaluation must comprise of data from a variety of sources including
a. At least one standardized measure
b. Observational/anecdotal data from teachers and parents
c. Student work/performance samples.
3. A multidisciplinary team (including the students parents/guardians), facilitated by district learning coordinators, will then collaborate to review the data collected during the evaluation. This team will discuss the results of the evaluation and determine the need for an individualized learning plan (ILP). Students will take an active role in the evaluation and ILP process.
4. If it is determined that the student needs a ILP, students in collaboration with classroom teacher and building principal will develop annual goals related to their unique abilities and establish a self-progress monitoring process.
5. Students’ needs will be evaluated on an ongoing basis by classroom teacher and building principal and students participating in progress monitoring. Students together with classroom teacher will report progress on goals at least three times per year.
6. An individualized student-planning meeting will be held at least annually to review/revise the ILP. |
