Students are academically ready for rigorous instruction in the TAG classes for which they meet the placement criteria. Howev-
er, other factors (organizational, time management, and study skills, maturity, and extracurricular activities) may contribute to
a student’s ultimate success in his or her classes. The option to take fewer than the recommended number of classes and add
more TAG classes based on classroom performance and the Continuous Achievement guidelines is available.
Intellectually gifted and exceptionally creative students have unique learning characteristics, interests, personal needs, and ca-
pabilities. The FCS TAG program addresses these traits by providing opportunities for gifted students to interact with intellectu-
al peers while taking classes that extend past the basic curriculum.
What happens when my child’s performance does not meet Fulton County’s criteria for continued participation in the TAG
program?

falls below the continuation criteria. Once a student is placed on probation, the student’s probationary status remains in effect
until the end of the course.

tion.
Once identified eligible for gifted service in the state of Georgia, students are not required to re-establish eligibility, regardless
of the length of break in service. Factors to be considered in the re-entry decision should include evidence of the student’s ad-
vanced learning needs and the recency and performance levels of any previous gifted program referrals or placements.
How does Fulton County Schools address English Language Learners with backgrounds that are culturally and/or linguistically
different from the traditional takers of gifted and talented assessments during the screening and identification process?
FCS uses the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test in an effort to provide better profiles for the identification of ELL gifted students.
The results of this test are not influenced by the student’s verbal or quantitative knowledge, which makes this assessment ap-
propriate for culturally and linguistically diverse populations.
