SUSD GIFTED TESTING FULL
Gifted Testing is used to identify students whose unique learning profile requires a specialized learning environment to reach their full potential. Testing for Gifted is offered multiple times a year: fall, winter and spring, targeting different groups. Initial research (N = 8,410 grades K-12) of the possible influences of gender, race, ethnicity, and parental education on three tests indicate little to no differences across gender, race, ethnicity and parental education. Initial research has found minimal differences across gender, race/ethnicity, and parental education level. Test items were carefully designed to remove cultural influences, allow students to solve problems regardless of the language they speak, and significantly reduce the amount of formal knowledge required so tests measure how well students 'think', rather than what students 'know'.

The Naglieri General Ability Tests are comprised of three brand-new tests developed to help identify gifted students fairly and equitably.
