<P>I am interested in hearing when whole-grade screenings are taking place in districts. I have been asked by my ESC member districts to do a study and make recommendations. It seems like a lot of districts whole-grade screen at the end of 2nd or 3rd. With the Gifted inputs points being heavily weighted in the K-3 grade band, I'm curious if districts are looking to shift to an earlier grade level. If so, what grade and what instruments will be used.</P>
<P><BR></P>
<P>Any and all information is welcomed. I will share the any compiled data.</P>
