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.

  5. Alison – BURLESON ISD (verified owner) –

    I did not enjoy this course at all. I thought that it would help me as a classroom teacher to identify students who need a different kind of instruction, and it did not at all. The reflection questions required an additional 30-40 minutes of re-watching videos I had just watched and the final quiz question felt impossible to get correct because there was no set number of options to choose.

  6. Jennifer – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –

    I like taking the Cogat part of this and taking into consideration all norms for all students.

  7. Melanie – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
