[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The system is much better now. Back when it was pullout the GT teachers gatekeeped to keep their caseloads small, and they left out a lot of kids who should have been identified.

My kid was overlooked. When I parent referred, they tested so high even the principal was wondering how they were missed. [/quote]
This doesn't make sense.  Every kid is test twice, once for NNaT and once for CogAT.  You don't get tested based on a parent referral unless the kid is new.  But a new kid wasn't overlooked, because they weren't there to be overlooked.  [/quote]

You don't know what you don't know. Kids are screened twice now, but that wasn't always the case. They were just given the NNaT; that's not a great test and it missed too many kids.

The addition of the CogAT was one of the improvements in addition to the push in model so kids are not left out anymore.

My 20 yo took both NNaT AND CogAT in APS, and the push in model was also adopted when he was in elementary. That was a long time ago.[/quote]

I think you are remembering this wrong. My kid is younger than yours and was not given the CogAT. [/quote]

Nah. Here’s a thread from 2013, so it goes back at least that far.
