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.

  • 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!

    Interesting and helpful information

  2. Alberto – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    I thought the personal questions was pretty neat! For example, they asked us to rewrite the word big. I then gave 8 different examples. Upon the follow up, we were asked which was the biggest word we used. I found that type of activity awesome and engaging.

    I think education will benefit from administrators taking courses like this one so they are aware of the opportunities to help each students and they are able to understand their needs.
