[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The biggest surprise for DS (which I didn't show him) is that his Teacher Survey was below threshold. His teacher this year loves him and was downright effusive the few times we have run into each other coming and going. I'm surprised the survey wasn't at least at threshold. He's your average 9 yo with no behavior issues. Now I'm second guessing everything.[/quote]

Similar situation for us. [/quote]

What's the teacher survey? I don't think I've ever seen this. Is it part of the report card?[/quote]

They don't typically report the teacher survey or staff advocacy (if conducted) results to parents except in the GT letter.  It's one of the non-test factors, along with the parent GT identification survey.  "One of" because some time ago they found that teachers, even genuinely trying, don't always have reliable enough underatanding of each student's competencies to be a single point of failure in the GT identification process, so parents/guardians or staff (assistant principal, reading specialist, music teacher, etc ) who notice something special about a student can establish equally that portion of the identification.

Look at the current year criteria/explainer, here:

Given the note about single points of failure, one wonders if they've created too narrow a funnel this year, given the general unpreparedness for the EOLs/district assessments that was seen across the system.
