[quote=Anonymous]The other child had not gotten the SIGS form and when I was referring about the form to the parent, they contacted the class teacher and SEARCH teacher to see if they can fill the recommendation form. They submitted the form and has gotten in to the program.

A lot of parents in the neighborhood had discussed about their child's score. I had spoken with the SEARCH teacher beginning of the year about including an aspect of their SEARCH work in the report card to get an understanding of our child's capabilities.

How can Parents assess their child's ability in comparison with peers their age? This could only be done on what ever minimum interaction you have with your kids friends during their playtime together. The SIGS form that the parents are asked to fill is all about in comparison with their peers. If you just ask any parent, of course their child will be gifted. If you have other children, then your younger one's ability can be judged based on how your older one was at that age (Of course kids are different but at a high level you would know if one is doing more than the other). For people like me with one child how can I judge? I can only go with what the teacher says. My DD has been doing very well academically and her teacher has always mentioned that she is above grade level in all academical aspect. I know that has got nothing to do with Cognitive ability, and a test like CoGAT and NNAT should be my only understanding of her ability. If they do have a high score on that what additionally are they expecting to indicate a gifted child?[/quote]
