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.

The course explained the intricacies of how to identify and test for giftedness, and how it can be missed from methods which are oftentimes usual and in need of revision; it was very informative.
