multicultural assessment  

Definition

  • The purpose of gifted education is to select able learners and educate those children appropriately, with the view of producing gifted young adults who actually make creative contributions to a profession or recognized field of endeavor, be it music or math, physics or painting, computer science or costume design, or devising winning strategies tailored to the talents of a particular basketball team. Traditional definitions of giftedness are norm referenced, usually with some combination of tests, but with IQ being the key factor in admissions identification.
