Excellence in Identification Using Multiple Measures for Equity

In this session, Drs. Lakin, Dunbar, and Welch will highlight the value of using achievement measures in addition to ability as a best practice in identification for Gifted and Talented programs. Among topics discussed will be types of achievement data that are appropriate to measure high-performing students, the value of vertical scaling and normative comparisons, and how to effectively combine achievement and ability scores to guide student placement.

The session will be followed by live Q&A.

Maximizing Equitable Identification While Minimizing Time and Resources

This session offers suggestions and tools for greater equity and efficiency in your identification process. Universal Screening has been shown to be a key factor in enabling equity.

Language supports for English Learners will be presented as a tool for creating greater equity. Tips for working with your assessment data are provided throughout.
