Beginning the spring of 2020, DCSD will transition from the “paper pencil” CogAT to the online version. The online assessment platform provides for easier administration, faster results, and access to the directions in multiple languages other than English.(NOTE: Language options for the Spring 2020 Testing Window are in process.) In addition, we are changing our Universal Screening grade from 3rd grade to 2nd grade as recommended by state and national guidance.  \nAs part of this process, ALL students in Grade 2 will take the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT 8) the week of [add specific dates of testing for your school] This assessment indicates the level and pattern of cognitive development of a student in comparison to grade and age mates. These general reasoning abilities, which start developing at birth and continue through early adulthood, are influenced by experiences gained both in and out of school.  \nIf your child is in 2nd grade and took the CogAT in September of 2019, you have the option to opt your child out of this testing window. Your Gifted Education Facilitator will contact you directly with information about this process.   \nGifted Identification Referral Testing  \nDCSD will NOT have a second Referral Testing Window this school year (2019-2020) . The next testing window will be in the fall of the 2020-2021 school year.  \nIf your child is in a grade other than 2nd, and you believe he/she needs evaluation for Gifted Identification and Services, and you have not done so already, please initiate the Gifted Identification Referral Process by completing the referral form linked HERE  \nNOTE: Completing this referral form WILL NOT initiate the CogAT assessment.   \nUpon receipt of this form the Gifted Education Facilitator will be connect with you to discuss next steps in the process.  \nDarlene Cheever  \nGifted Education Facilitator  \nGifted Education District Lead-CHS Feeder Pine Grove Elementary  \n303-387-8075","cbCaibRC6c9mXqEz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibRC6c9mXqEz","pdf",94545,"English","# Universal Screening\n## Timing and format changes\n## Grade adjustment and student assessment\n# Opting out\n# Gifted Identification Referral Testing\n## Referral window and next dates\n## Referral form instructions\n## Clarification on assessment initiation","[{\"question\":\"What changes are being made to Universal Screening starting in spring 2020?\",\"answer\":\"DCSD will transition the CogAT from a paper-pencil format to an online version.
