Talented And Gifted (TAG)

Expectations for TAG Testing for 2026-2027 Year:

 During the 2026-2027 school year, the district will only be using NGAT for testing.

UNIVERSAL SCREENINGS: 

We will all enrolled 3rd grade students the Naglieri General Ability Test--Nonverbal. This will happen during classtime. 

We will all enrolled 4th grade students the Naglieri General Ability Test--Verbal. This will happen during classtime. 

We will all enrolled 5th grade students the Naglieri General Ability Test--Quantitative. This will happen during classtime. 

Since we will be universally screening 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students each year, referrals will only happen outside of those grade levels.

Teachers will still use the Kingore Observation Inventory, to record qualitative data needed as part of the identification process. Teachers look for evidence of gifted characteristics in their students. The Kingore process will take place during the weeks of October 26 - December 18.

TIMING:

Testing for 3rd,4th and 5th grade will occur the weeks of October 5 - November 10. More specific dates will be sent out from the classroom teacher at a later date.
