The following school personnel should be represented at the meeting: Principal, Assistant Principal, or designee Test Coordinator, AG Teacher, Counselor, IRT, Grade Three Teachers, Exceptional Children Program Teacher/Representative, and/or any other personnel designated by the principal Instructions for the AG Teachers and Third Grade Teachers: Schedule a large meeting space, for example the media center or gym, in advance.

At the start of the parent meeting: Announce the following to parents and staff members in attendance : This general informational meeting is to provide an overview of the CogAT scores. It is not a time to take specific questions about a student’s individual scores. A sign-up sheet for individual consultation/interpretation of scores will be provided at the end of the meeting. Also let the parents know what items will be in the envelope that pick up at the end of the presentation. Hold up the hard copy of Power Point and the sample CogAT student profile to see if any parents still need a copy. Begin Power Point presentation. Ask if there are any general questions at the conclusion of the Power Point. Provide parents with directions on how envelopes will be distributed; by classroom teachers, A-B-C by counselor, etc. If additional tables are going to be set up for explanations following the general meeting, direct parents to that location. Thank parents for attending and adjourn meeting.
