Who Can Refer a Student for TAG Services?
A parent or teacher may refer a student for testing.
Considerations:
*Maturity of your child (especially for primary)
*Learning style of your child (self-directed, able to handle open-ended tasks and long range planning)
*Length of testing (especially for younger children, 6-8 hour process)
Nationally-normed tests scores are valid for 2 years (students may not be nominated again for 2 years)
*Student's Independence: Consider if your child is able to complete long-term projects independently:
TAG identified students must complete one ISP (independent student project) a year. There is a district showcase that celebrates their work.
