[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would keep AAP as it is and just add a program for the top 0.1% as measured by the WISC full scale. Then those parents would stop complaining. [/quote]

I think that would be ideal but it will never happen. Too expensive. And are you giving everyone a WISC or just those who meet certain thresholds on, say, CogAT?[/quote]

I think a fair way to operate would be to give a free WISC to all composite scores above 145 on the CoGAT. [/quote]
The CogAT is not precise enough to use in such a manner.   [/quote]

I agree with you, but it’s a good start to capturing those “truly gifted” kids. If I child can score above 145 on the school administered cogat and 145 on the WISC she is for sure one of those. I would hesitate to automatically include a WISC administered by anyone off the street for fear of inflated scores. Perhaps, if I were in charge, I would allow an in-house screening of those students on the WISC after 12 months.

Those who scored poorly on cogat but above 145 would presumably be accepted to AAP. [/quote]
