Background:
|
Wisconsin Statute 121.02(1)(t) and Wisconsin Statute 118.35 require school boards to provide programs to students who are identified as gifted and talented. Milwaukee Public Schools begins this process through identification of students using multiple data points. This presentation will review this year's screening of students using a cognitive reasoning assessment and the TOPS survey. This screening provides a more equitable identification of gifted potential in all children in areas such as academic, overall intellect, creativity, leadership, interests, spatial abilities, and social perceptiveness. Additionally, programming opportunities for identified students will be discussed including curriculum compacting, specialized programs, acceleration, and support for parents.
A chart is attached that provides disaggregated data for the current year and the previous school year. This data is redacted for groups that have fewer than 10 students to maintain privacy. |
