[quote=Anonymous]Improving the selection criteria to select students for these programs so that they actually use measures of cognitive ability. As a parent of a August birthday kid (youngest kid in their class) with a 99% COGAT, 93% MAP-R and 98% MAP-M who somehow wasn't in the lottery pool for CES, I'm frustrated that selection criteria aren't age normed (the kids I know in her school who were selected for CES all have fall birthdays and clearly being months early helps with reading ability) and only are based on a single instance of MAP-R. If I had known that everything centered around the MAP-R, I would have enrolled them in a prep course like other parents did to game the system.[/quote]
