Identification Process
K-2 Early Identification Process
Students in grades K-2 can be identified for AIG differentiated services. The School Based Committee for Gifted Education (SBCGE) will proceed in determining if the student should be identified.
3rd Grade Identification Process
Wake County Public School System administers the CogAT to all 3rd grade students. Students who attain a CogAT composite or subtest score at or above the 85th percentile will be eligible to take the Iowa Assessment. After taking the Iowa Assessment, students who score at or above the 95th percentile on the CogAT and Iowa will be considered for referral to the School Based Committee for Gifted Education (SBCGE). The SBCGE will proceed in determining if the student should be identified.
4-12 Identification Process
Based on the county Board approved AIG Plan, The School Based Committee for Gifted Education (SBCGE) refers a nominated student for evaluation and uses several factors to determine eligibility for differentiated services through our AIG program. Students are identified as AIG (Academically and Intellectually Gifted), AG (Academically Gifted) or IG (Intellectually Gifted) in reading and/or math.
Talent Development
Talent Development students are defined by being high performing students that show the potential for AIG identification and/or that have high performing characteristics. Using district guidelines, the SBCGE will use data-based problem solving to make placement decisions.
