My DD's teacher and principal have decided they need to do some testing (not necessarily DT- PI, but they want to know where she is and what gaps there are). The school routinely uses NNAT and COGAT for whole-class testing. Will they most likely use those for this too? Are those tests good for math? Are they automatically going to test to the limits of her ability or are they grade levelled? I worry about taking her through four grade levels worth of testing. I'd be burnt out and I'm not 5.
Do you think they'll use those tests only, or others. Is it appropriate for me to ask which tests they'll use and make suggestions or ask for a different test? Our aim right now is targeting in-class differentiation and providing materials for the K teacher.
Who normally does the test? The school psychologist or one of the GATE teachers?
She's in K, reading at grade level but between grade level and 4 years advanced in math.
