| Gifted Screening | http://rep.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/school-news/12 | Gifted Screening | <p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>GIFTED SCREENING PROCESS</strong> - Students who display an advanced
degree of general intellectual ability may require additional program support
in order to reach their educational potential. This support may be through enhancing
the curriculum, differentiated instruction and through providing program
modifications. This type of programming is important to engage, motivate and
challenge students who are identified as gifted in either the regular classroom
or in gifted classroom placements. In consultation with parents/guardians,
school staff determines who these students are through the gifted screening
process. Students may be nominated by either a teacher or parent/guardian.
Parents/Guardians of a student currently in Grade 3 to Grade 8, who wish the
school to consider their child for screening, are asked to contact Barb Debassige
or Marissa Cox before October 2nd. If your child is nominated, a teacher from
the school will contact you regarding the screening process. You will be asked
to sign a consent form as your child will be taking a standardized test (the
Otis-Lennon School Achievement Test (OLSAT)). Your child will be given some
instruction regarding the test and will have the opportunity to take a practice
test prior to the actual test. Once the school receives the results, you will
be contacted and these results will be shared with you. The school staff will
also explain what any next steps may be. If you require additional information
regarding the gifted screening process, please contact the school.</p> | | | |
