Ohio, below. Please send your reply to mmbestgen at gmail.com. Thanks in
advance for any advice or experience you can share. - Denise Gold

 

Hello all!

 

We just wrapped up cognitive/gifted screening in my elementary using the
CogAT (Cognitive Abilities Test).  Some of the teachers came to me with
concerns about outdated pictures, awkward wording, etc. and wondered if I
knew of any other group cognitive assessments available.  I did some
Googling and found a few, including an ODE approved list, but want to reach
out to you all.  I'd like to be able to provide more than just names and
prices when I talk to administration.  

 

Does your district complete group cognitive screenings?  If so, what measure
do you use?  Are you content with that measure?

 

Thanks!
