The letter will list all areas in which your student has ever been identified, including any new ones.Once a student is identified as gifted in a specific area, they are always considered gifted in that area.  \nWhat Assessments Are Used for Gifted Identification?  \nSpecific Academic Ability (Math and Reading): Students in grades 2 and 5 take the IOWA Assessments. A score at the 95th percentile or higher in Math and/or Reading qualifies a student as gifted in that subject.  \nSuperior Cognitive Ability: Students in grades 2 and 5 take the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) . Gifted identification on the CogAT requires a score ranging from 126 (Nonverbal) to 128 (Verbal/Quantitative/Nonverbal composite) . Assessments take place in October and February.  \nGifted Services Offered  \nGrades 3–5  \n● Services begin in grade 3.  \n● Students identified in superior cognitive ability, math, or reading are placed in cluster groups with similarly identified peers.  \n● These students receive a Written Education Plan (WEP) .  \nStudents newly identified mid-year who are not already in a cluster group will remain in their current class but will still receive differentiated instruction in Math and Reading.  \nAll Math and ELA teachers in grades 3–5 receive high-quality professional development focused on gifted education.  \nGrades 6–12  \n● Students are served through Honors and Advanced Placement (AP) courses. Important: Enrollment in honors or AP courses does not automatically mean a student is receiving gifted services. A student must be identified in the area tobe considered served.  \n● Honors ELA Placement (Grades 6–8):  \nPlacement is determined by a rubric that uses multiple data points, including (but not limited to) gifted identification. While a Gifted ID may support placement, it does not guarantee it.  \n● Teachers of Honors ELA classes provide differentiated instruction and enrichment opportunities to meet the needs of gifted learners.  \n● These teachers also receive ongoing professional development in gifted education and supporting students' academic and social-emotional needs.  \nAdvanced Math Pathway (Grades 6–8) These courses are rigorous and fast paced, focused on higher-level thinking and designed to challenge advanced learners. This pathway accelerates middle school math content into two years, preparing students for Algebra I in grade 8:  \n● Grade 6: 6/7 Math  \n● Grade 7: 7/8 Math  \n● Grade 8: Algebra I (High School Level)  \nWhat Is a Written Education Plan (WEP)?  \nA Written Education Plan (WEP) is required by the Ohio Department of Education for all students receiving gifted services. It outlines goals in a student's identified areas to support academic growth and challenge.  \n● WEPs are issued each school year.  \n● Only students currently receiving services will receive a WEP.  \nWhat Should I Do With the WEP?  \n1. Review the WEP.  \n2. Sign the WEP  \n3. Keep a copy for your records.  \n● How can I learn more about parenting a","cbCaipm80oX2OU1d","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipm80oX2OU1d","pdf",175267,"English","# What Does It Mean to Be Gifted?\n## Gifted identification areas (K–12)\n# Why Did I Receive Another Gifted Identification Letter?\n# What Assessments Are Used for Gifted Identification?\n## Specific Academic Ability (Math and Reading)\n## Superior Cognitive Ability (CogAT)\n# Gifted Services Offered\n## Grades 3–5\n## Grades 6–12\n# What Is a Written Education Plan (WEP)?\n# What Should I Do With the WEP?","[{\"question\":\"What does Ohio mean by a “gifted student”?\",\"answer\":\"Ohio defines a gifted student as someone who performs or shows potential for performing at remarkably high levels compared with others of the same age, experience, or environment.\"},{\"question\":\"Why might I receive another gifted identification letter?\",\"answer\":\"If your child was previously identified and you received a new letter, it means your student has been identified in an additional area.
