Writing Fluency – responding to a writing prompt (fine motor skill demands; letter alignment; letter formation; writing complete sentences; capitalization; punctuation; etc. )  \n2. PAST (Phonemic Awareness Screening Test)  \n3. Reading Fluency (administer 1st grade mid-year Acadience ELA assessment)  \n4. Reading Comprehension (not just retell, but actual responses to teacher questions; inference)  \n5. Math Number Sense (counting and writing numbers to 100, simple addition and subtraction)  \nStudent Developmental Considerations:  \n• Developmental Appropriateness  \n• Attention span & ability to focus  \n• Pre-School Experience? (following directions, taking turns,“doing school”)  \n• Self-Advocacy (being able to say,“I don’t understand” or “May I use the restroom?”)  \n• Emotional Impact  \n• Birthdate – Fall (oldest in the class) vs. Summer (youngest in the class)  \nPlease Note:  \n• Research does not recommend advancing a student into the same grade as an older sibling. Family conflict (particularly with the older sibling) and student self-esteem issues are potential concerns.  \nRecommendations if the Grade Advancement is Initially Approved:  \n• All parties should understand that there will be a two week trial period before the placement becomes permanent.  \n• Have a current student, or the principal take the new student on a tour of the school.  \n• Have an adult introduce the new student to the principal, prep time specialists, Librarian, etc.  \n• Teacher should assign the new student a responsible “buddy” in the class for the first week.  \n• Two weeks after the grade advancement, the teacher should schedule a meeting with the parents and principal to discuss the student’s adjustment to the new class, address any concerns, and decide whether or not the placement will become permanent.","cbCaiatiIgh9IKe9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiatiIgh9IKe9","pdf",172979,"English","# Required District Testing\n## CogAT scheduling and target stanines\n# School Level Academic Assessments\n## Writing fluency\n## PAST (phonemic awareness) and reading assessments\n## Math number sense\n# Student Developmental Considerations\n## Developmental appropriateness and attention\n## Pre-school experience and self-advocacy\n## Emotional impact and birthdate timing\n# Recommendations After Initial Approval\n## Two-week trial and onboarding steps\n## Post-trial meeting with parents and principal","[{\"question\":\"What is the required district test for grade advancement to 1st grade?\",\"answer\":\"The required district testing is the CogAT, the Cognitive Abilities Test, which is nationally normed and standardized.\"},{\"question\":\"What performance thresholds are recommended on the CogAT?\",\"answer\":\"The document recommends placing a student at the 90th percentile or above and in the 9th stanine (occasionally the 8th) on the CogAT for grade advancement consideration.\"},{\"question\":\"What happens after grade advancement is initially approved?\",\"answer\":\"A two-week trial period occurs before the placement becomes permanent.
