[quote=Anonymous]Nevermind. I found this on the APS website. Sharing in case others have the same questions:

Student referrals are considered by a school-based committee composed of a classroom teacher, resource teacher for the gifted, an administrator, special education teacher (as appropriate), ESOL/HILT teacher (as appropriate) and other members who may know the child and could provide input such as the counselor or school psychologist.

APS uses a holistic case study approach in the screening process. All relevant data is reviewed and the decision to identify a need for services or not is made by the committee. In identifying students for Gifted Services, multiple criteria are used including the following:

Nationally-Normed Aptitude assessments
Achievement assessments
Teacher Observations
Parent Info Form (also available in multiple languages: Spanish, Bengali, Amharic, Mongolian and Arabic)
Digital portfolios/work samples/performance assessments
Parents are notified of the committee’s decision.  Families of eligible students will receive a permission form to return to accept placement. Families of ineligible students will receive information on how to appeal if they choose to do so.
