The Gifted Review Committee chariperson gathers sufficient information on the referred student to be able to provide the Gifted Review Committee with data for consideration. At times, there is suficient information in the student s records. At other times it will be important to gather additional data from tests, anecdotal comments, rating scales, samples of work, observations, evidence of performances, and other items indicating the student s strengths. The Gifted Review Committee considers the data and makes an eligiblity decision. The Gifted Review Committee s members individually review the folder of information on a referred student.
Members decide on eligibility, ineligibility, or a monitoring stauts for the student.
If all members of the committee agree on a decision, that decision holds. If there is disagreement among committee members, they meet to form consensus on a professional decision on eligibility. The Gifted Review Committee recommends gifted education services. If a student is coming from a non-DoDEA school with evidence of identification for gifted education services in the last school, the Gifted Review Committee should immediately consider the evidence provided and come to an eligibility decision. As students complete each school year, their eligibility status is reviewed by the Gifted Review Committee.
