TAG law states that nationally standardized tests of mental ability (cognitive assessment) shall be used for intellectually gifted identification category.
We universally screen all 2nd and 5th graders each Fall using the Raven's Progressive Matrices Test. We screen all "new to district" students each Spring.
For the academically talented identification category, tests of total reading or total math from a nationally standardized test battery may be used to refer a student:
OSAS Screening
WIAT-4 (Reading and Math)
TAG-4ASp.pdfTAG-4A.pdfReferrals can be made any time of year.
In our district, the referral does not have to go to a “child study” team before the testing process is initiated.
The TAG-4A form to the right may be used as a referral form. Click, print, and complete. Turn in to our TAG coordinator at: vreynolds@ontario.k12.or.us
