• When a student is nominated, data will be collected by the SBCGE to determine if a referral/testing is appropriate

• A student may be evaluated using the CogAT and Iowa during the Fall and Spring testing windows

• Students may also be identified through the portfolio process which utilizes multiple data points for identification

• CogAT and Iowa Testing will take place in October and January.
