[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW Virginia law requires:

[quote]"Identification" means the multistaged process of finding students who are eligible for service options offered through the division's gifted education program. The identification process begins with a divisionwide screening component that is followed by a referral component, and that concludes with the determination of eligibility by the school division's identification and placement committee or committees. The identification process includes the review of valid and reliable student data based on criteria established and applied consistently by the school division. The process shall include the review of information or data from multiple sources to determine whether a student's aptitudes and learning needs are most appropriately served through the school division's gifted education program.[/quote]

I really don't see how they could claim that one referral pathway getting preference over the others is "consistent."[/quote]

Here's an example on how "consistently" is applied:  FCPS establishes that LIV AAP is open to 20% of student body.  FCPS derives the total population of students in 2nd grade using the 20% marker.  FCPS uses a criteria threshold (e.g., >128 composite VQN) to gauge whether the 20% total population grabs all students who are above the 128 VQN.  If so, those files are set aside for full screening.  If there are more or less students who score above or below the 128, you goal seek the VQN to get to the 20% population number.  Those kids who score above are set aside for full screening. <-- Consistent.

(Before everyone jumps on those numbers, it's only an example.  What do I know!)[/quote]
