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.

This course makes me wonder why GT is not under the umbrella of Sped. GT students requires significant modifications to be successful in the learning environment .
