Current through June 17, 2024

				a local district program for learners with high ability and the teachers whose
				primary responsibility is working with learners with high ability should have,
				or be working toward, an endorsement in Gifted Education.

				not apply to the director/supervisor/ coordinator of a program for learners
				with high ability or the teacher whose primary responsibility is working with
				learners with high ability if such a person has held a similar position for a

				learners.

Current through June 17, 2024
Written agreements under Section
				  004.01C of this
				  Chapter must:
1. Specify the purpose, scope, and duration of the study and
				  the information to be disclosed. The agreement must specify the purpose of the
				  study, describe its scope and its duration, and identify the information being
				  disclosed.
2. Require the receiving educational agency or institution to
				  use personally identifiable information (PII) from education records only to
				  meet the purpose or purposes of the study as stated in the written agreement.
				  The agreement must specify that the PII from education records must only be
				  used for the study identified in the agreement.
3. Require the receiving educational agency or institution to
				  conduct the study in a manner that does not permit the personal identification
				  of parents and students by anyone other than representatives of the
				  organization with legitimate interests. The agreement must require the
				  receiving educational agency or institution to conduct the study so as not to
				  identify students or their parents. This typically means that the organization
				  should allow internal access to PII from education records only to individuals
				  with a need to know, and that the receiving educational agency or institution
				  should take steps to maintain the confidentiality of the PII from education
				  records at all stages of the study, including within the final report, by using
				  appropriate disclosure avoidance techniques.
4. Require the receiving educational agency or institution to
				  destroy all PII from education records when the information is no longer needed
				  for the purposes for which the study was conducted, and specify the time period
				  in which the information must be destroyed. The agreement must require the
				  receiving educational agency or institution to destroy the PII from education
				  records when it is no longer needed for the identified study. You should
				  determine the specific time period for destruction based on the facts and
				  circumstances surrounding the disclosure and study. The parties to the written
				  agreement may agree to amend the agreement to extend the time period if needed,
				  but the agreement must include a time limit.

Quality Indicator:
Assessment procedures and
				results assist teachers in planning and providing appropriate instruction for
				all students. Assessment results also provide information for monitoring
				program success, and for reporting to parents, policy makers, and the
				community. Schools periodically review procedures to improve assessment quality
				and increase student learning. The information assists schools in establishing
				and achieving improvement goals.
AQuESTT Tenet:
The results of
				  multiple assessment sources (national, state, and classroom-based) are used to
				  measure student achievement of college and career ready standards and be used
				  as an integral part of the instructional process.
005.01A All public school districts
				participate annually in statewide assessments in compliance with the schedule
				adopted by the Board. Nonpublic schools have an assessment plan which includes
				a schedule and procedures for assessing success in achieving their academic
				content standards. Student success in achieving their standards is reported to
				the head administrator or governing board of the nonpublic school.
005.01B Whole grade norm-referenced
				assessment using a national assessment instrument begins no earlier than grade
				two and is conducted annually in at least one grade in each of the following
				two levels: grades 2-5; grades 6-8.A national assessment instrument is
				administered at least once in the high school grades.
