2nd Grade Explorers Program: (First Semester)
During the first semester, all 2nd grade classes will have push-in lessons with the AIG teacher. This will include STEAM activities and preparation lessons for the CogAT assessment.
2nd Grade Testing: (Second Semester)
A new WCPSS AIG program started during the 2024-2025 school year. All second grade students are administered the CogAT Assessment in the spring. If the composite or subtest score on the CogAT is at or above the 85th percentile then students 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. The assessment scores are used in addition to regular classroom work samples to determine a need for AIG identification.
If you have any questions about AIG services or the 2nd grade testing, please contact the AIG teacher at your school, Meghan Sollars, msollars@wcpss.net. Thank you!
