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.

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!

  7. Ssra – DEL VALLE ISD (verified owner) –

    I think it would be fun to be in the training class with others. I wish we could actually all take each of the intelligence tests so we can evaluate and understand each of them. It is interesting that there are so many methods for assessing intelligence and that it is not an exact science. I wonder if we could do brain scans of corpus collossum and use that as a tool for GT testing. Because having extra white matter is what identifies those as genius, right? Problems with high GT kids being born to rich parents and a society of scaling of brain matter…. ok, maybe not. Let us take the intelligence tests!
