Mayfield conducts Grade Level Assessments to screen for potential gifted identification.
- Grade K-8: All students will be screened 3 times per year for possible gifted identification using the STAR assessment and then reassessed for possible gifted id with the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessment in Math and Reading.
- Grade 4: Ability Assessment- Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) form 7 or 8 (Fall) AND Creative Thinking ID
- Grade 1: Ability Assessment - Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) OR NNAT3 Non-Verbal Assessment (February) AND Creative Thinking ID
In August, a Universal Permission to Test form is sent to all Parents of students in grades K-8 to provide permission for academic testing that may occur throughout the school year. These assessments provide academic data which is utilized to make placement decisions and to meet students learning needs.
Parents/Staff may submit a Referral to request assessment of a student at any time. Once the referral is received, a completed Universal Permission to Test Form is necessary to schedule the assessment. Individual assessments will not be conducted without parent/guardian permission. Mayfield's Gifted academic testing window begins August through the end of April. (Please find the Referral & Permission to Test form links in Gifted Forms).
Gifted Intervention Specialists (GIS) provide direct instruction and staff support in each of our buildings K-12.
