Throughout September, teachers get to know students and complete the Gifted Checklist for each student in their homeroom.
During the same time frame, teachers are completing the top portion of the matrix for Academic Performance from the previous year's report card.
Students take the iReady Diagnostic in early September and the national percentile scores from the first diagnostic will be used as the final piece of data on the matrix.
By the first week of October, students will be identified and Gifted Instruction can begin.
The checklist and matrix will help us to identify which students would benefit from Art Enrichment, STEM Enrichment, and possibly Music Enrichment.
