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 it would be more beneficial to do these trainings in person. I think there could be more modern elements implemented like coding and AI/internet tools that the students will be interested in, and will be good for their futures in the modern world.

I would give this five stars, however, the wording of two quiz questions was questionable. It made me second guess my responses, when my first guess was correct.

I am a first year High school teacher. I do not have a teacher’s certificate b/c I am in the Career and Technical Education program. I am a Registered Nurse who has taught clinical nursing on the community college level. This course is geared more towards middle school and elementary school.

It is a lot of information about test types, and it feels like there are so many that doesn’t apply to classroom teachers, since we usually don’t have to give the tests.

This course provided helpful insight on how to evaluate a student for GT services.
Benjamin – ALAMO HEIGHTS ISD (verified owner) –
I enjoyed the course. Some of the terminology used needs to be updated (for example, Asperger syndrome is not longer diagnosed, it all falls under ASD), and “college-aged girls” is not accurate, they would be college-aged women. However, the message is solid and the ideas presented are interesting.

Abigail – COLLEGE STATION ISD (verified owner) –
There is some valuable information in this course, but some of the reasoning is woefully outdated. Additionally, the assessments are reflective of problems endemic in education, i.e., an overreliance on testing and pattern-recognition that does not actually reflect cognitive ability. The section on gifted girls and boys is especially troubling considering it places these students into predetermined bubbles.
Luis – PHARR-SAN JUAN-ALAMO ISD (verified owner) –
