This six-hour course, “Identification & Assessment of the Gifted,” addresses issues surrounding gifted students and practical ways to identify them.

Teachers who have a thorough understanding of how to identify and assess gifted students will be able to equip and challenge these students better.
In this informative course educators will learn:

Keni – Private Pay (verified owner) –
This was an outstanding course. Ms Van Gemert passionately delivered solid information while attempting to keep the audience’s interest with her brain breaks along the way. She did an excellent job of highlighting many of the common forms of intellectual testing that are on the market. While I was surprised that she didn’t cover any common creativity testing, perhaps those are not as commonly used as they are here in Texas. I found her section on diversity to be well researched and insightful and enjoyed her heartfelt presentation style in that section. This is a course well worthy of your time and will be money well spent

I’m taking detailed notes on this training. It is really that good! In fact, I have been debating for a while now on where I’d like to focus my interests in education for graduate level work and now I am considering a route that involves G/T.

Dollucy – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –
Makes you look at things from new perspectives.
Timothy – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –
This course made me emotional, Although very challenging but this one hit my core as I can relate to many of the ideas. I remember 22 years ago in High school, a teacher kicked me out of her class for drawing on a paper different than what she recommended. I worked so hard to give her an accurate scaled drawing and help others because it was an engineering drawing. that was my last engineering drawing ever since.
My parents never helped me with my school assignments, Because they are always busying trying to feed the family
