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.

Sherrie – BURNET CISD (verified owner) – June 30, 2021

I really enjoyed learning about the different things to look for in my students. This course showed me there isn’t an exact model that gifted students fit into. It also made me realize to stop and take a look at students who don’t scream gifted because of outliers. This course provide a variety of tools to use in my classroom.
