What testing is used to identify giftedness?


After a battery of tests has been administered to a TAG (talented and gifted) individual, how are the decisions made about their placement and the services they will receive?


Beyond standardized testing, how else can students qualify for services?


This is a guide for parents, teachers, and university students seeking to identify and/or work with the gifted. It conveys:


- a how-was-it-done history of assessing and identifying giftedness.


- traditional and non-traditional measures for identifying the gifted.


- procedures and test instruments used for appropriate and accurate assessment.


- guidance for identifying giftedness among subpopulations.


- methods for recognizing giftedness in the primary grades.


- the importance of interacting with classroom teachers in the assessment process.


It also provides:


A full listing of evaluative tests by name, descriptive information on their scope and purpose, applicable age ranges, and the publisher from whom they can be obtained.
many practical classroom ideas and activities for nurturing potential giftedness.


an Activity Book providing templates outlining daily activities to use with students that are keyed to each chapter.
