Checkpoint 4: Eligibility

1. The committee may develop a matrix and add up the students' scores to find eligible students. 

The correct answer is false. Students are not identified by total scores. Using a summed matrix scores provides false security in decision-making. The individual components on the matrix are quite different in nature and format.

2. Gifted Review Committee Members take a vote on a child's eligibility. 

The correct response is false. Committee decisions on eligibility are made by consensus. Committee members are charged with reviewing all available data for a student holistically. Members work together to come to professional agreement on their eligibility decision.
