Description
Do you ever feel like you’re behind the 8-ball when you do a walk-through, or hold a traditional assessment instrument up against a gifted classroom? That doesn’t have to be the case when you have tools specific to assessing gifted classes.

In this 1-hour course, you will learn to:
- Empower teachers to grow in their strengths
- Discern the difference between good goals and ambiguous goals
- Look past personal preferences to give effective assessments
- Use language that fosters healthy relationships with teachers

good

I didn’t really understand how this course related to the identification and assessment of GT students. Aside from throwing out the phrase GT every once in a while, this course had nothing to do with GT students.

This course is out of date. Also, it didn’t teach anything. It told stories and then expected us to come up with method and ideas from the stories.
