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:

- Differences between testing boys and girls
And much more!

Cleared a lot of misconceptions of gifted students.
Joel – DEL VALLE ISD (verified owner) –
1) I teach a one semester class for high school seniors, so ID’ing G/T is not really a thing.
2) The return of the use of “gifted” as a plural noun.
3) At what level of development do we learn how to pronounce words like “asynchronous”?
