Description

Students who score well on the screening test are considered for special educational programming and their needs, interests, and abilities are matched with the services that the school offers. But what about talented students who slip through the cracks of current screening methods. In this 1-hour course David Lohman, Ph.D., shares tools to design a screening program that avoids the twin pitfalls of failing to identify students who should be included or wrongly including students who do not need special services.

Dr. Lohman provides:

Examples of exemplary practices
The difference between identification and selection
Distinctions between “gifted” and “talented”
The elements of screening
Common pitfalls illustrated using the CogAT Form 7 Screening Form

This course is aligned with 2016 ODE Teacher Competencies e, f, g, and NAGC Teacher Preparation Standards 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3.

This course was WAY too long and the reflective questions were WAY too lengthy for a general/beginner course.

Too much information to absorb in a short time.

Rodney – GRAND PRAIRIE ISD (verified owner) – May 14, 2020

I did not really get too much from this course. As a teacher, I felt it was very specific in who it actually should be for.

Course is filled with statistical analysis. For those of us who have had years pass since taking a course such as this, I’d suggest that the professor stop to give examples more frequently. Examples are what classroom teachers will relate to and can use.
