  2. Graettinger-Terril Community SchoolsGifted and Talented—Identification Process K-2 Students are identified through • teacher recommendation and observation • BRI and DIBELS scores (if used) • MAP test scores 9-12 Students are identified through • BRI <Basic Reading Inventory test> (if available) • ITED scores • MAP scores • Teacher Recommendation • The Heart Database allows access to this information, which makes student evaluation very easy. Mainly students with Core totals at the 90th percentile and above are examined in this process. In addition, special attention is given to those with high scores in certain areas only. The state average for TAG “enrollment” is 2%. However, if you include the aforementioned students with high scores in one or two areas and those who are gifted artistically, musically and or in leadership only that percentage will be much greater.
