Identification

Step 2:

The AIG Teachers will collect formal and informal data indicators in preparation for the SBCGE meeting. Examples of these indicators include grades, EOG scores, work samples, teacher and parent checklists, and other available data.

Step 3:

The SBCGE considers all nominations.

• The committee reviews all available student data and documentation based on formal and informal indicators. This information determines which of the nominated students will be referred.
• If you are transferring from another school or from out of state where your student was already identified as AIG with documentation please email rwest2@wcpss.net and cdalessio@wcpss.net. We will be happy to explain how the reciprocity process works for your student.

Step 4:

Once a nomination and it's accompanying data is considered the SBCGE can make one of the following decisions:

1. "Decision Not to Refer": This student will not be referred for additional evaluation and not recommended for AIG differentiation.
   • Parents will receive a Results of Nomination and Notice to Parents form
   • The AIG identification process concludes at this point.
2. "Decision to Refer": This student will be referred for additional testing and more data is required to determine whether the student should be recommended for AIG differentiation.
   • Parents will receive a Prior Notice and Consent for Evaluation, Parent Checklist, and AIG Parent Guide

Step 5:

Students referred for additional evaluation will take the CogAT and Iowa tests.

• Parent information about the CogAT and Iowa tests can be found by clicking on the links.
• Please see the calendar on this website's homepage for testing windows.
• Once testing results return to schools the identification process continues.

Step 5a:

The SBCGE analyzes each student's CogAt and Iowa test results.

• Some students may require additional evaluation to determine whether the student should be recommended for AIG differentiation.
• If the SBCGE requests another evaluation it will be administered prior to the SBCGE making a final decision.
