Phew!! Great meeting with the principal today. We successfully advocated for math acceleration (I think). They will being doing all the regular third-grade testing in the next week (CogAT, TOMAGS) to qualify him for placement in third-grade math class. Because they typically test beginning in third grade, they have not made this accomodation before. They do have a number of grade-skipped math kids in upper grades (and a few double skipped). They are also considering giving him highest-level gifted services which include regular pull-out programming with the gifted coordinator. Again, not an accomodation they have made before at his level. I know that this will not be perfect, but I feel like they were open and had made the decision before we got there to honor the WISC results.
Any advice about CogAt v. Wisc or TOMAGS?
And now back to our regularly scheduled programing...
