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

great
Michelle – BELTON ISD (verified owner) –
Did not help with the classroom teacher’s ability to better identify talented students in their own classroom. The content was more for diagnostician level and not the classroom teacher.
Ricci – WODEN ISD (verified owner) –
all
Patty – EDINBURG CISD (verified owner) –
great
Memrey – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –
This was confusing and not presented in a way conducive to learning anything.
Kathryn – DRIPPING SPRINGS ISD (verified owner) –
There was a ton of information to be only tested with 4 questions. It seemed as though everything was important to know. Again, online courses are not my favorite. If there had been a paper copy to take notes, I would have remembered more. This course took double the time allotted because it was imperative to write every word down.
