Wrapping Up First Grade Screening

We have finished the process of screening all first grade students for the Webster Groves Gifted and Talented Programs.  The intent of the screening procedure is to be inclusive when identifying students who demonstrate, or have the potential to demonstrate, a high level of performance. 

All first grade students  participated in classroom lessons taught by gifted specialists for the purpose of exposing students to activities that promote creative, analytical, and critical thinking. These enrichment lessons took place in the regular classroom during students’ regular school day.   

As part of the screening process, all first grade students were given the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test (NNAT2), a language free test of nonverbal reasoning. Based on the NNAT2 scores, the top twenty percent of the first grade students, district wide, will be considered for further evaluation.
