D. Betsy McCoach; Scott Peters; Anthony J. Gambino; Daniel Long; Del Siegle – Grantee Submission, 2024
Teacher rating scales (TRS) often play a part in service eligibility decisions for gifted services. Although schools regularly use TRS to identify gifted students either as part of an informal nomination process or through behavioral rating scales, there is little research documenting the between-teacher variance in teacher ratings and the…

Wim J. van der Linden; Luping Niu; Seung W. Choi – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2024
A test battery with two different levels of adaptation is presented: a within-subtest level for the selection of the items in the subtests and a between-subtest level to move from one subtest to the next. The battery runs on a two-level model consisting of a regular response model for each of the subtests extended with a second level for the joint…

Campbell, Janine Anne; Idsøe, E.; Størksen, I. – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2023
Low cost, non-invasive instruments for the identification of high academic potential in early childhood education and care are scarce, and the complexity of cognitive development indicates that combinations of screening instruments are needed. This study investigates the reliability and validity of three instruments (individually and in…

Misconceptions about the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test: A Commentary of Concerns and Disagreements
Naglieri, Jack A.; Ford, Donna Y. – Roeper Review, 2015
Black and Hispanic students are undeniably underidentified as gifted and underrepresented in gifted education. The underrepresentation of the two largest groups of "minority" students is long-standing, dating several decades, and is a serious area of contention. Most debates focus on the efficacy of traditional intelligence tests with…

Crawford, Lindy – Preventing School Failure, 2014
This article discusses the role of assessment in a response-to-intervention model. Although assessment represents only 1 component in a response-to-intervention model, a well-articulated assessment system is critical in providing teachers with reliable data that are easily interpreted and used to make instructional decisions. Three components of…
