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.

The presentation was very wordy, I wish there were more interaction or visuals. The quiz was very specific.

Peter – TEAYS VALLEY LOCAL (verified owner) – April 15, 2020

Really, really, long and dry. Don’t get me wrong, this is fascinating information. But it felt slow and dragged. It definitely gives me good ideas for testing considerations. I just wonder if the information could have been contained in a shorter presentation.

I liked the content but the presentation was disjointed at times and was hard to follow, some of the information was good but was evident he was trying to promote his product of CogAT.
