Gifted and Talented Programs in Bellevue School District
The district's gifted and talented program offers differentiated learning to students who can benefit from an advanced program in various school subject areas. The program provides services to students enrolled in Bellevue schools, and to home schooled/private school children based on individual parent applications.
Students are either placed in a self-contained school program with other gifted peers or remain in their own school and receive special instruction. Kindergarten students in need of gifted services are provided specialized instruction at their neighbourhood school.
Gifted and Talented Program Screening in the Bellevue School District
Bellevue School District's gifted programs are designed to meet the needs of students who are academically performing in the 98th percentile and above as compared to their peers. Kindergarten students are observed for gifted characteristics and are assessed on writing and math skills. Students in grades 1–11 are selected for gifted services through the administration of the CogAT 7 test, STAR Assessments, and Iowa Assessments.
CogAT Testing in the Bellevue School District
The CogAT is a learning ability test that assesses students' reasoning skills. The test focuses on three areas of ability: verbal reasoning, nonverbal or figural reasoning, and quantitative reasoning. Rather than testing any pre-given curriculum, the test measures learning and problem solving skills. The CogAT is a norm referenced test, and is averaged nationally. The test is commonly used to identify students for gifted and talented programs.
Choose the correct level for your child from the list below:
- CogAT for 2nd Grade: CogAT Form 7 (Level 8)
- CogAT for 3rd Grade: CogAT Form 7 (Level 9)
- CogAT for 4th Grade: CogAT Form 7 (Level 10)
- CogAT for 5th Grade: CogAT Form 7 (Level 11)
STAR Assessments in the Bellevue School District
STAR Assessments are a series of computerized adaptive tests which measure students' abilities in reading and math. Throughout the test, the difficulty level of questions is automatically adjusted in accordance with students' responses. The tests are commonly administered to monitor progress and achievement in grades K–12. Results are standardized and compared to a national norm.
The IOWA Assessments in the Bellevue School District
The Iowa Assessments (previously the Iowa Test of Basic Skills or ITBS) are administered in K–12 education. The assessments are a series of standardized achievement tests that measure basic skills as well as higher order thinking skills. The assessment is comprised of various subtests in Math, Language Arts, Science, reading and Social Studies.
