The TAG law states that nationally standardized tests of mental ability (cognitive assessment) must be used for intellectually gifted identification category.

• Raven Screening (Universal 2nd/5th)

For the academically talented identification category, tests of total reading or total math from a  nationally standardized test battery must be used:

•  OSAS Screening

• WIAT-4 (Reading and Math)

Referrals can be made from:

• Teachers

• Parents

• Students

• In our district, the referral does not have to go to a “child study” team before the testing process is initiated.

• We do a universal screening using the RAVEN each Fall in 2nd and 5th grades. 

• The TAG-4 form to the right may be used as a referral form. Click, print, and complete. Turn into our TAG coordinator at: vreynolds@ontario.k12.or.us
