  8. 2014-2015 Identification • Spring 2014 EOG scores are being used in August & September to identified new gifted students since scores were returned so late in the school year. • At the end of the 2013-2014 school year, elementary school principals worked to ensure that students were placed in appropriate cluster groups to support gifted identification and services at the beginning of the school year.

  9. The Portfolio Pathway • Students are given the option in 5th, 7th, and 10th grades to complete a portfolio when they have two of three criteria needed for identification. • Parents are notified and sign permission for the portfolio process to begin. • Portfolios should include five exemplary work samples completed at school in the area of consideration. • Students and teachers reflect on each sample, and a teacher recommendation is included. • Portfolios are evaluated by the portfolio screening committee using a rubric for scoring. • Passing portfolio scores take the place of the missing criterion for identification.
