More DescriptionIn use since 1976 and based on a multiple talent approach to the identification of gifted students, 14 teacher rating scales help identify student strengths in the following areas: learning, motivation, creativity, leadership, art, music, dramatics, planning, communication (precision and expression), mathematics, reading, science, and technology. Updated with a new introduction, four content scales (mathematics, reading, science, and technology), and easy-to-follow instructions on how to establish local norms in your school or district, the Scales for Rating the Behavioral Characteristics of Superior Students: Technical and Administration Manual includes the technical information about how the scales were developed as well as guidelines for using the scales. Extensive appendices include reproducible teacher training activities to help teachers understand how to use the scales and rate students, a practical plan for identifying students for gifted and talented programs, and a complete nonreproducible sample set of scales.
