Identification beyond the data

Amy Horneman and Claire Reid
Cost: ($30 for non members / $10 for VAGTC members

As educators we feel obliged to justify extending the learning of students who seem very capable, and so we turn to quantitative data measures such as standardised testing (PAT, NAPLAN etc) or classroom assessment grades and scores. This session will provide you with practical ideas ways of identifying giftedness beyond numerical data. You will have the opportunity to workshop using observational and behavioural checklists, and triangulating alternative (and qualitative) data sources in order to better identify giftedness in the students within your classrooms. The workshop will be interactive, so please bring your questions!
