Description
It used to be that intelligence and giftedness were solely based on I.Q. and test scores. As our understanding of giftedness and the brain has expanded, the means of assessing and identifying gifted students have also expanded. In this course, “Screening, Assessment, and Identification of the Gifted”, Joyce Juntune Ph.D., draws from her vast knowledge and experience in gifted education to present invaluable tools for identifying gifted students using a variety of different methods.
In this 6-hour course, you will learn about:
- Definitions and unique characteristics of giftedness
- The role of intelligence in gifted students
- Methods of screening students for signs of giftedness
- Suggestions and guidelines for gifted programs
- Scoring tests
- Differences between testing boys and girls
And much more!

I truly enjoyed learning about these tests. As I do more and more of these modules, so much is explained about my educational path as a student and what needs I didn’t have met as a GT student. It also helps me “see myself” in my students.

I prefer to read a powerpoint then take a quiz rather than listen to the woman talk about her personal experiences.
Joel – DEL VALLE ISD (verified owner) –
1) I teach a one semester class for high school seniors, so ID’ing G/T is not really a thing.
2) The return of the use of “gifted” as a plural noun.
3) At what level of development do we learn how to pronounce words like “asynchronous”?
