[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wondering.. why the MAP cut off is 80th percentile but the ela and math assessment scores need to be a 5 to meet the criteria? Meaning you gave to score 💯 on the assessments.. weird.[/quote]

It’s a good thing because many students test differently and many more  are above 80%. The assessments really separate the kids. It’s pretty easy to do and you don’t need the behavior assessments if your child hit all academic indicators (5/5 on assessments, high dibels and map).

I don’t even know why they have behavioral checklists they should just do academic (Increase map criteria to 95% and all GT students have to get 5/5 on assessments). [/quote]

I disagree. Even advanced readers make mistakes..maybe they should not use one random assessment but take an average of a bunch of them to be fair?[/quote]

But behavior checklist to get into GT is not appropriate. Basically, it allows students in for participation and solely by being able to raise their hands in class even though they are not gifted academically. GT students are generally consistent in their test taking so one test should be sufficient if the student is truly gifted. They can retest in another grade and perhaps do better. [/quote]
