Test Scores or Portfolios: Matching Students to Services

Saturday, November 11, 2023
8:00 AM – 9:00 AM East Coast USA Time
Location: Fiesta 5
Tests are often used to determine readiness for accelerated placement, but can a portfolio approach serve the same purpose and increase access? A talent development, equity-focused approach requires multiple pathways into services. Presenters share implications from an ongoing study examining how the performance of students admitted to accelerated programs using portfolios compares to students admitted using test scores.

Learning Objectives:

  • Define evidence-based practices for identifying learning needs and making placements in accelerated services as described in Standard 2 of the Pre-K – Grade 12 Gifted Programming Standards.
  • Describe current literature on identification for accelerated programming and initial findings from a new research study on portfolio identification.
  • Evaluate current identification practices and identify opportunities for improvement.
