Description
It used to be that intelligence and giftedness were solely based on I.Q. and test scores. As our understanding of giftedness and the brain has expanded, the means of assessing and identifying gifted students have also expanded. In this course, “Screening, Assessment, and Identification of the Gifted”, Joyce Juntune Ph.D., draws from her vast knowledge and experience in gifted education to present invaluable tools for identifying gifted students using a variety of different methods.
In this 6-hour course, you will learn about:

- Suggestions and guidelines for gifted programs
- Scoring tests
- Differences between testing boys and girls
And much more!

I like this course. It teaches how to identify students who are intelligent but nonverbal and may perform bad on assessment simply because they can express their thought verbally; therefore, they need a second look.
