Welcome!

UNIVERSAL SCREENING

All districts in the South Central BOCES screen 1st/2nd and 5th/6th graders for exceptional cognitive ability. All schools are using the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test®-3rd Edition (NNAT3) test for universal screening.

REFERRALS

Referrals from teachers, parents and other community members provide another way to notice students who may have exceptional talents, abilities, or potential.

BODY OF EVIDENCE

Formally identifying a student for gifted education services requires the collection of a body of evidence demonstrating exceptional aptitude, talent, or achievement.

TRANSFERRING STUDENTS

Students who have been identified as gifted in another school or district are evaluated upon transfer into an South Central BOCES member district.
