The benefits for students to be tested and identified as gifted lends itself for increased opportunities for students to be with like-minded peers, receive instruction at a faster pace to best meet their instructional needs based on students' strengths and/or interest from a gifted certified/endorsed teacher that is trained in recognizing the unique needs of gifted students by providing open-ended assignments that encourage critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving. According to the Georgia Department of Education’s guidance and criteria is as follows: Mental Ability – 96% or higher in any subtest and/or complete composite, Achievement-90% or higher in Reading Total or Math Total, Creativity-90% or higher and Motivation-90% or higher. The State of Georgia requires a student to meet three out of the four domains as long as one of the areas is either in Achievement or Mental Ability.  \n2) How can I as a parent help my child raise their Mental Ability, in the Third grade? Parents are encouraged to contact the local school’s gifted liaison for any specific questions relative to the gifted testing process while the local schools are encouraged to communicate with their respective community groups using the calling post, website, and flyers about any testing administration windows that will take place. Parents are welcome to research the assessments to utilize the practice/sample questions offered by the website.  \n3) Can we request our child to be tested? The district implements an automatic referral process that screens all students in grades K-11 which begins with the MAP administration using the State of Georgia criteria that requires a score of 90% or higher in either reading or math. Additional screening levels will be offered to students who achieve at least in the 75th – 89th percentile in reading or mathematics from the Fall or Winter MAP may be additionally screened in the Achievement domain, using the *Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) in September (Fall) or February (Winter), or score at least in the 90th percentile or higher in both creativity and motivation from the Renzulli administration will be screened using the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) for mental ability domain in February (Winter) .  \n4) My child's results said they need further testing, but he seemed to have passed 3 out of  \n4 tests. He also isn't very tech savvy. Could his subpar computer skills affect test results? Each student has an eligibility report that shows the data sets used towards the gifted screening process. In each domain, an assessment type and score is listed along with whether the criteria set forth by the State of Georgia has been met indicated by a Y or N. Followed by Xs indicating the student's gifted status (eligible, not eligible, pending step II) . If marked eligible, then the student is gifted identified. If marked not eligible, then the student did not meet the state’s criteria of meeting three out of the four domains, and if marked pending step II, then further screening is needed.  \n5) How is gifted addressed with students who have IEP's-think the term was dual exceptionality. Any accommodation stated in an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or 504 Plan must be adhered to in ensuring the student has access to the curriculum and/or academic standards being taught. In such cases, the student’s IEP will be honored by way of the District identifying Georgia Department of Education-approved gifted assessment methods in which the student’s IEP testing accommodations do not impact the scoring or norming of the assessment. These will be case-by-case decisions, depending on the child’s eligibility for special education services and testing accommodations contained within the child’s IEP.  \n6) Are students retested yearly or per semester?
