This chapter depicts a gifted identification method using K–8 student data profiles. This method of gifted identification aligns student needs with comprehensive gifted and talented programming, and student data serve to inform instruction, not solely to identify whether or not students exhibit giftedness. Under the gifted and talented specialist's guidance, a trained committee conducts an anonymized review of data on the student profiles to uncover extraordinary potential, creativity, aptitude, and achievement while identifying the targeted student needs through universal screening. This chapter also examines the first-hand application of this student profile review. Anecdotes and documented experiences demonstrate the gifted identification process using student profiles capturing local norms, multiple criteria, and gifted service goals to guide the committee's anonymized review. |
