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:
- 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!

I enjoyed this course. I learned more about giftedness in a slightly different perspective: that is through screening.

The course was fine.
Kim – DEL VALLE ISD (verified owner) –
I really liked this course. The only drawback I have is that I would like to have had one place to go to get all of the handouts for each course. Each module had it’s own separate handout and is time consuming when trying to go back and get each one printed out. If there was a central location to have them, it would be easier to print out and follow along.
