How to Address Disproportionality
in HC Programs
![Page 3: Office of Advanced Learning · 2017. 1. 24. · b) 2nd grade “universal testing” using the CogAT screening form at all Title One elementary schools c) Invitations for continued](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052018/6031a7f675ba59752f7b09b7/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Highly Capable (HC) or “Gifted” programs in urban centers have historically suffered from an under-representation of students of color; especially those of African-American, Hispanic and Native American heritage. SPS and many Districts nationwide have experimented with a variety of approaches to combat disproportionality especially for culturally, linguistically, economically diverse (CLED) populations.

1. Identification
a) Each and every referred student tests for eligibility; there are no longer any pre-qualifications at all
b) 2nd grade “universal testing” using the CogAT screening form at all Title One elementary schools
c) Invitations for continued screening extended to parents of students demonstrating high potential on the CogAT screening form (K-2)
d) Parent rating scale is 1 of 5 or more “data points” in eligibility process
e) “Special consideration” in the eligibility process as noted in our Superintendent Procedures and practiced by the MSC (multidisciplinary selection committee)
f) Collaboration with the Rainier Scholars Program so that we can contact their applicants to generate referrals for previously unidentified high potential students of color
