October Gifted Facilitator Update
Elementary Facilitators
Once you have accessed your scores, please do the following no later than Friday, November 3rd:
Print a copy of the Student Profile Narrative and send home with an explanatory letter to parents of ALL students who took the CogAT (a sample letter may be found HERE as CogAT Score Report Letter).
Make a copy of the narrative and letter and file in each student’s cumulative file
Consider the most effective and appropriate ways to communicate student scores and implications with teachers and support staff.
School Wide Cluster Group
Schoolwide Cluster Group: This course is designed to support classroom teachers, gifted education facilitators, support staff, and administrators in meeting the unique needs of gifted learners through implementing the Schoolwide Cluster Model. This is a wonderful opportunity to collaborate with other teachers/facilitators in the district who are also clustering their gifted students.
This course is now in InspirED. Use THIS link to sign up for the course.
