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 think this course was good in showing how language can affect the way students learn material and learning the strategies to build intelligence will help increase a students language performance.

I don’t think I needed to see the variety of screeners given I have zero input in them. It felt like a waste of time. The screeners my district chooses to use are already explained to me as a teacher.

This course help me see that gifted students’ brains function differently than the average person and just because they can’t explain something doesn’t mean they don’t understand it.

Mary – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
There was a lot of time spent in the earlier parts of this course that felt like we were just spending time to tick off minutes of a “5-hour course”. I really don’t need so many personal stories or personal activities to understand the importance of using multiple data sources for assessing abilities.
