Approved Gifted Identification Assessments
The Department of Education and Workforce's List of Approved Assessments has two areas of approval for gifted education; meaning some assessment instruments are approved for prescreening only while others are approved for identification.
Assessments that are approved for prescreening only are for use by districts in selecting students who are potentially gifted for further evaluation with assessments approved for identification. Tests approved for prescreening only are NOT approved for the identification of students who are gifted and are NOT approved for use in meeting whole-grade screening or referral opportunity requirements as described in Ohio Revised Code 3324 and the Operating Standards for Identifying and Serving Students Who are Gifted (Ohio Administrative Code 3301-51-15).
