District outlines updated TAG identification process and goals to improve proportionality
Summary
District TAG coordinator presented the annual TAG plan required by the Oregon Department of Education, describing identification methods, a PEP process after identification, and goals to improve proportionality and staff PD.
Kate, the district TAG coordinator, walked the board through the updated TAG plan required by the Oregon Department of Education and explained how students are identified and served. She described multiple referral and screening pathways—teacher and parent referrals, universal screeners (STAR), state scores, and intelligence screening—then explained that once identified a student receives a PEP (Personalized Education Plan) similar in function to an IEP.
Kate noted the district changed cut scores to target roughly the top 4–8% and locally expects to examine the top 10% or 90th percentile for identification. She said the plan includes continuous-improvement goals and a short one-hour PD to explain TAG purposes to staff; the board asked clarifying questions about objectivity, reassessment and proportionality, and Kate said PEPs are reviewed annually.
