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.

I feel like this course was helpful at times, but at other times it was too much information to follow.

Fairly technical and not useful for what I do which is : classroom eacher

Elizabeth – BURLESON ISD (verified owner) – May 28, 2021

I hate to be negative, but this is not what I thought it would be. This training is not so much for general use in the classroom, but might be more beneficial if you are a specialist who works specifically on the testing aspect.

Leigh Anne – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) – June 7, 2021

I would like for this be more interactive because the presentation had great information but maybe questions or feedback in each section instead of all at once.
