Goal: Determine if an increase in GT services increase academic achievement for students receiving services.
Step 1
Create a parent survey based on beliefs about the GT program and the achievment impact it has had on students.
Step 2
Begin seeing district GT students for one full day of instruction each week and complete tracking sheet on students learning.
Step 3
Collect data such as GT report cards from last year, school report cards from last year, TAKS scores for 3rd and 4th grade students, commended rates for 3rd and 4th grade students, and Cogat scores for 2nd grade.
Step 4
Compile last years data and this years data. View data and look for trends and connections in data and whether or not achievement is increasing.
Great topic. I've heard that GT programs get less than 10% of $$$ of what special education gets. It's seems that all kids (no matter the level) should be serviced equally/fairly. I'm hoping you find data thats shows that it is indeed helping those kids too.
