Johnsen (educational psychology, Baylor U.) and a group of other educational psychologists aid teachers, counselors, psychologists, and administrators in screening and selecting gifted and talented students. They review the definitions, models, and characteristics of these students; quantitative and qualitative assessments, their differences, and types; culture-fair and non-biased assessment; and list 28 frequently-used assessments and their purpose, validity, reliability, age, norming sample, types of scores, administration format, and qualifications of testing personnel. Further chapters cover multiple criteria, each phase of the assessment process, organizing and evaluating data, and the components of evaluating procedures. This edition is aligned with the updated National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) Pre-K-Grade 12 Gifted Program Standards and the NAGC and The Association for the Gifted, Council for Exceptional Children professional development standards.
