state of Ohio defines a gifted student as one who “performs or shows potential for performing at remarkably high levels of accomplishment when compared to others of their age, experience, or environment. The Cognitive Abilities Test ™ (CogAT®) team from Riverside Insights has been asked to provide clarification about the use of CogAT scores for prescreening and identifying gifted and talented students with respect to the policies and processes outlined by the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce (ODEW) .  \nODEW defines multiple categories for the identification of gifted and talented students:  \n• Superior cognitive ability;  \n• Specific academic ability: mathematics, reading/writing, science, and social studies;  \n• Creative thinking ability; and  \n• Visual or performing arts ability: dance, drama, music, and visual arts.  \nCogAT is approved by the ODEW for use in the identification of students with superior cognitive ability and as the intelligence component in the identification of students with creative thinking ability.  \nSuperior Cognitive Ability: Districts shall identify students as gifted in the area of superior cognitive ability when a student accomplishes any of the following: scores two standard deviations above the mean, minus the standard error of measurement, on an approved intelligence test; performs at or above the ninety-fifth percentile on an approved composite battery of a nationally normed achievement test; or attains an approved score on an approved nationally-normed above grade level achievement test.  \nCreative Thinking Ability: Districts shall identify students as gifted in Creative Thinking Ability if, within the previous 24 months, a student does both of the following:  \n1. Scores one standard deviation above the mean, minus the standard error of measurement, on an approved standardized individual or group intelligence test; and  \n2. Exhibits sufficient performance on either of the following:  \n• An approved individual or group test of creative ability; or  \n• A checklist of creative behaviors.  \nFor CogAT Form 7 and Form 8 :  \n• The CogAT full-scale VQN composite score, summarizing across the Verbal (V), Quantitative (Q), and Nonverbal-Figural (N) batteries, is approved for use identifying students for Superior Cognitive Ability in grades K-12.  \n• At grades 3 and above (test Levels 9-17/18), the CogAT QN composite (Quantitative – Nonverbal) is approved for identifying English learners and/or students with serious reading disabilities for Superior Cognitive Ability.  \n• The CogATVN composite (Verbal – Nonverbal) is approved for identifying students with mathematics learning disabilities for Superior Cognitive Ability in grades K-12.  \n• For grades 2-5 (test Levels 8-11), the CogAT Nonverbal battery score is approved for identifying English Learners and students with serious mathematical and/or reading disabilities for Superior Cognitive Ability. (Only CogAT Form 8 is approved for Level 11 / Grade 5.)  \n• Each of the above measures may also be used as the intelligence component to identify students with Creative Thinking Ability. See the ODEW’s guidance for approved qualifying scores.  \nThe CogAT Screening Form is approved for use for prescreening students for gifted and talented. Per the ODEW, districts may use instruments approved for prescreening to select students who potentially are gifted for further assessment with instruments approved for identification. Instruments approved for prescreening only are not approved for the identification of students who are gifted.  \n• One benefit of the CogAT Screening Form is that it is a brief assessment, requiring less than one class period of testing time, that provides a reliable and valid score to indicate students who may be nominated for additional testing.  \n• The remaining sections of the full CogAT may then easily be administered using the CogAT Post-Screener to obtain the score needed for identification.  \nAdditionally, a variety of acade","cbCaifUmKYS9Y9on","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifUmKYS9Y9on","pdf",206408,"English","# Gifted student definition in Ohio\n## Categories for identification\n## Role of CogAT in prescreening and identification\n# Approved uses and qualifying score rules\n## Superior cognitive ability\n## Creative thinking ability\n## CogAT forms, composites, and grade-level approvals\n# Prescreening screening vs full identification\n## CogAT Screening Form and Post-Screener\n# Specific academic ability and achievement testing","[{\"question\":\"How does Ohio define a gifted student for identification purposes?\",\"answer\":\"Ohio defines a gifted student as one who performs at remarkably high levels or shows potential to do so compared with others of the same age, experience, or environment.\"},{\"question\":\"What ODEW categories are used to identify gifted and talented students?\",\"answer\":\"The categories include superior cognitive ability, specific academic ability (math, reading/writing, science, social studies), creative thinking ability, and visual or performing arts ability.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the CogAT Screening Form different from instruments used for identification?\",\"answer\":\"The CogAT Screening Form is approved for prescreening to nominate students for further assessment, but prescreening-only instruments are not approved as instruments for identification of gifted students.\"}]","Using CogAT for Gifted and Talented Identification and Screening in Ohio -  July 2024 | PDF",1791177222]
