Identification of Students Who Are New to the District
When students move into the WAWM School District their learner profile will be reviewed and the student will be monitored closely throughout the first quarter. Upon the completion of the review process, the Enrichment Team will make the appropriate decision for program placement based on the identification criteria.
Academic Identification Process and Assessment Data Tool
Multiple sources of data are used in determining a student’s eligibility for gifted services. The Enrichment team will gather supporting information to get an overall picture of the student’s performance before making a final decision on where the student’s academic needs are best met.
Results are used specifically to gather information regarding ability and achievement on an individual basis.
