Gifted students often score in the 96th or 99th percentile on achievement testing. But on many tests, especially grade-level achievement tests, the tests are designed so that many students know most or all of the material. This makes percentile scores for the top-scoring students seem odd. If 10 percent of the students in the normalization study got all the questions correct, then they would have each earned the 90th percentile.
This creates a conundrum — one or a few questions wrong, can terribly skew the percentile scores. It is state law that GT placement decisions be made be a district committee of GT trained professionals. By state law there must be a minimum of three persons on that committee. The number will vary from campus to campus, but they will all have at least three CISD professional staff members.
CISD does not allow parents to be members of this committee due to privacy issues. CISD does not allow professional staff members who have children that are being considered for gifted programming to serve on the committee during that decision making process. The state law requires that these members be trained in the areas of nature and needs of gifted learners which is part of the general gifted education training offered in CISD.
Group tests are sent away to the testing company to be scored. When the scores return, forms have to be completed, and committees convene to make decisions.
This all takes many weeks. As soon as all of that processing is complete, parents will be notified by the campus. Please contact the campus for this information. View All Events. Mission Statement.

These programs are typically fee based and focus on one or two subjects in depth. The following are few examples of popular summer enrichment programs as well as summer program resources for gifted and talented children and their parents :. Most summer enrichment programs focus on a specific age group, such as elementary age, high school age, or by years such as 8 through While many summer enrichment programs cover just one or two topics, others allow students to choose between a variety of subjects and activities.
For example, a course in history could include both academic, theatre and musical elements. Summer enrichment programs are designed to help students to develop new skills and enhance their already extraordinary learning capabilities. Parents with the resources and disposition to help their gifted child maximize his or her capabilities have the ability to enroll their child in a separate class or school that works exclusively with gifted children.
These full-time classes for the giftered are sometimes referred to as "Congregated Gifted Classes" as they congregate gifted students together to receive specialized instruction and training. Separate or independant schools for the gifted are relatively scarce. Parents who are interested in having their child attend a school for the gifted are often required to relocate to a city, county or even state where such a school exists. A partial list of schools for the gifted can be found at WikiPedia.
The National Associate for Gifted Children website also provides a list of schools that offer education programs specifically for the gifted. Not surprising, classes or schools for gifted students can be relatively expensive when compared to the cost of receiving an education through the public school system.
Forms of Gifted Education by Becton Loveless Approaches to providing gifted education are commonly classified in the following ways. Hobby Extra curricular activities such as sports, chess, music, creative writing, reading, foreign language, or art provide additional intellectual challenge and developmental opportunity outside of the classroom for gifted children.
Enrichment The enrichment approach to gifted education is common in public school systems where gifted education is valued but funds are not available, or resources aren't merited, to support stand alone gifted education programs. Compacting Compacting could also be referred to as "skipping"—because in essence that's what it is.
Self-pacing As it's name suggests, self-pacing allows gifted children to progress through their studies at their own pace. Acceleration This is a straightforward approach to gifted education that is implemented in school systems across the United States.
Colloquium Colloquium is an approach for administering gifted education to high school level students. Pull-Out In this approach, gifted students are pulled out of the traditional "grade level" classroom environment and placed in a class specifically for gifted students. Summer Enrichment Programs Summer enrichment programs offer a good alternative or addition to gifted education programs offered during the school year.
