San Leandro Unified School District utilizes multiple measures to determine GATE eligibility including measures of intellectual capability, academic work, and profiles of gifted characteristics.  All third-grade students are screened for further evaluation in the GATE identification process.  

The first step in the screening process for Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) services is a cognitive abilities assessment administered to all 3rd-grade SLUSD students.  The screening administration will happen in classrooms between January to June.  SLUSD utilizes multiple measures to identify students for services.  This screening assessment is but one part of the GATE screening process.  3rd-grade students are assessed utilizing the Naglieri Non-Verbal Abilities Test (NNAT3).
