For teachers, is there some cutoff or limit to how many kids they can identify as g&t? Is there any benefit/reason not to say 3/3 are met for kids?

(Wondering because DD met the criteria on everything but teacher's rec, which was only 2/3 and seemed surprising given the feedback we've received) [/quote]

May I ask about your child's Dibels score? [/quote]

PP. DD had a 436 Diebels, 99% MAP, 5s on the math and ELA assessments.

Looks like math assessment was a Eureka end of module thing and the ELA was a benchmark assessment.

It's a little weird they use Diebels at all when it's meant to assess reading skills not abilities. DD "tested out" of multiple sections this year, which feels odd if they use it for qualifying for G&T.

Still interested in info on teacher input! [/quote]

So they used a single mid module assessment/benchmark test? Sorry but I think that's ridiculous based. My kid has a 445 DIBELS and a 98 MAP and was not recommended based on getting 4s on both of those. That said, the school is currently providing him enrichment in both areas - I imagine they have the authority to continue to do that regardless of this determination if they see fit? [/quote]
