The identification process has three parts to it: referral, screening, and selection. The Texas State Plan for Gifted Education requires a balanced examination of assessment data be used by the GT Selection Committee. The assessment criteria for Aledo ISD includes both quantitative and qualitative assessments. Quantitative measures include both aptitude and achievement tests approved by the state and qualitative measures that include parent, teacher, and student inventories.
