Each year, thousands of gifted students go undiscovered in our classrooms. Without accurate identification, many of these students will never reach their full potential or benefit from the great resources available in our gifted programs. As teachers and educators in gifted education, one of our top priorities should be the screening, assessment, and identification of our gifted students.

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!

    Great ideas for screening for GT students

  39. Judith – UNITED ISD (verified owner)

    Informative

  40. Kathleen – EANES ISD (verified owner)

    The course has good material but is focused on much younger children. At high school level, teachers are not looking to place students in gifted programs.

  41. Kathleen – PRIORITY CHARTER SCHOOLS (verified owner)

    I think the “fluid” and “crystalized” segment was extremely valuable. I also like the different types of tests that can be performed on GT students, but I also feel that non-gifted students could benefit from those types of tests. A lot of great stories from Joyce; she is a plethora of information! I highly recommend this course for ALL teachers.

    Highly useful.

    The strategies were good. Unfortunately alot of this is not done at the high school level but for information purposes of how my students got labeled was good to know!!

  46. Evelyn – BURNET CISD (verified owner)

    I love the tools provided that help the teacher collect data from observations. Collecting data can sometimes seem to be an overwhelming task, but the templates provided are easy to use and easily adaptable.

    The activities are a nice way to understand the information; however, there were several occasions where we needed a partner which was not available to do online at home.
