Description
Students who score well on the screening test are considered for special educational programming and their needs, interests, and abilities are matched with the services that the school offers. But what about talented students who slip through the cracks of current screening methods. In this 1-hour course David Lohman, Ph.D., shares tools to design a screening program that avoids the twin pitfalls of failing to identify students who should be included or wrongly including students who do not need special services.
Dr. Lohman provides:
- Examples of exemplary practices
- The difference between identification and selection
- Distinctions between “gifted” and “talented”
- The elements of screening
- Common pitfalls illustrated using the CogAT Form 7 Screening Form

Too much information with too little explanation.

There was some good information, but it should be extended over more than one hour. There was also quite a bit of jargon that was hard to follow.

Good information if your district uses the CoGAT for GT identification. Since speaker is part of the development of the CoGAT, he is a little biased as to its effectiveness, I’m sure, but he makes some good points. Quiz is hard!

Course is filled with statistical analysis. For those of us who have had years pass since taking a course such as this, I’d suggest that the professor stop to give examples more frequently. Examples are what classroom teachers will relate to and can use.
