This series of four (4) courses prepares teachers for
certification to teach gifted students.
The four courses must be taken in sequence.
Identification and Assessment of the Gifted encompasses two facets of assessment:
(1) assessment used in the identification, eligibility, and placement for
services in gifted education programs and (2) classroom assessment of gifted
learners that reflects appropriate levels of cognitive challenge while preparing
these students to engage in self-assessment and goal-setting. Coursework will
include the study of reasoning skills, principles of valid and reliable
assessment, issues in the ethical use of assessment, and the design and
evaluation of varied classroom assessments. Participants will research
assessments used in the identification of gifted students as required by
Georgia's eligibility rule, SBOE Rule 160-4-2-.38, and understand Georgia
eligibility requirements as well as how their local district implements
policies and procedures for the identification and placement of gifted
students.
