I believe that Ben is bored by the pace of learning in Ms. Mitchell’s classroom. He isa an advanced learner, with a short attention span. He may benefit from more challenging work that extends what he already knows, completing project -based assignments and some chunking in how he is assigned tasks in the classroom.

I really do appreciate your thoughts on this. I agree that many students do not get to test in to the program, because there is no full-fledged program available in my district.

The benefits I see in using quantitative assessments for identification of gifted learners is that it provides a common ground to begin with by providing the same baseline for all students deemed worthy of that quality. The limitation I see is that students who have a disability (in my school) are usually not recommended for this kind of testing which is definitely showcasing a bias against their special needs label.
