<br><font size=3>Just a reminder/update- </font>
<br><font size=3>With all of the conversations about testing, which tests
folks use, and possibly changing tests/ practices in districts... the OAGC
Coordinator Division's <u>Coordinator Conference</u> on Dec. 5th is a whole
day on the topic of testing. We will have test vendors there to answer
questions and share updates in their materials throughout the day, we have
updates on ACT Aspire, SAT/College Board, updates on state testing, ethics
of testing and considerations when choosing tests for specific populations,
the list goes on and on, but the entire day is devoted to assessment tools
and practices. We have 15-16 different presenters, all with unique topics
about testing. Many gifted coordinators are asking their Testing
Coordinators to come with them for the day, as well. </font>

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.</font>
