[Ohiogift] Identifying students from the NWEA MAP

[Jaclyn Rausch]

I am looking for some clarification on using the NWEA MAP to identify students as gifted in specific academic areas.  I see that on the class reports there is a column titled "Percentile (+/- Std Err)" and then three numbers for each student.  My question is should I identify those who have 95 or higher anywhere within the range?  For example, do I identify a student whose reported scores are 89-92-95?  I would appreciate any guidance on what other Ohio districts are doing.

Thank you!
Jackie
