The range from 119 to 146 is huge. Just ask the Spec Ed teacher to explain what the difference between a student with a 70 IQ and a 43 IQ would be. How many minutes do you have these students? You also need to be thinking how you are going to help their regular ed teachers adjust for their needs in the mainstream classroom as well. These children should be working YEARS above their classmates. (If they aren't, you need to be asking why.) How are their teachers going to differentiate the material enough to keep these children motivated and actually learning material that is new to them. Often children at the highest levels of giftedness enter 1st grade fully capable of doing 5th and 6th grade work and having already mastered many of the skills that would normally be taught in 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade. To say they absorb information like a sponge is an understatement. They are also capable of combining the material that they have gleamed from many different sources and creating brand new products with it. Is your school looking at a grade skip or single subject acceleration? If a 2nd grader is working at 5th grade math, his classroom teacher can not differentiate enough for him to learn new material, much less challenge him. In our situation, the student was grade skipped one year and then single subjected acclerated two more years for math. You need to find out as much as you can about the characteristics of children at this range and have a conference with their teachers. My student's math teacher was totally unprepared for a student who only had to see the material one time before she had it completely mastered. He accused her of lying and falsifying the pretests. By the time he truly realized what she was capable of, alot of damage had been done.
