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:

MARTHA – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner) –
overall course is ok, but too much geared to lower levels instead of higher levels (secondary); lot of repetition; do not know why there is so much time spent with having children’s books read to listener … and you are forced to sit through it… among other things… ALSO, the resource link for modules 4 and 5 do not work, so IF you want copy of handouts you are out of luck
