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

This is a good course, with lots of excellent ideas. I think the instructors talks a bit much in stereotypes, though (“gifted kids do this…gifted kids do that”…I think gifted kids are still individuals with unique traits. I did enjoy the course and learned a lot.

Andrea – SPRING BRANCH ISD (verified owner) – June 14, 2020

It was a good course, and Dr. Juntune was very knowledgeable and experienced in this area. A little bit of it wasn’t applicable to my situation just bc the district already laid out how they test for GT, but much of it was.

Brittany – ALAMO HEIGHTS ISD (verified owner) – June 15, 2020

I think this course had good information on what teachers could do in the classroom to help identify gifted students. I would have liked to see more examples and activities to do to monitor giftedness (i.e. how is ___ like ___?) rather than learning about the different tests.
