Opis

The Scales for Rating the Behavioral Characteristics of Superior Students are commonly referred to as the Renzulli Scales orRenzulli-Hartman Scales.Now in its third edition, the Renzulli Scales are the nation's most popular tool for identifying gifted children. Supported by 40 years of research, the Renzulli Scales are used by gifted and talented programs across the country. This standardized instrument is completed by teachers and provides an effective method for identifying gifted children. The Renzulli Scales are designed to obtain teacher estimates of a student's characteristics in the following areas:Learning CharacteristicsCreativity CharacteristicsMotivation CharacteristicsLeadership CharacteristicsArtistic CharacteristicsMusical CharacteristicsDramatics CharacteristicsCommunication Characteristics (Precision)Communication Characteristics (Expressiveness)Planning CharacteristicsMathematics CharacteristicsReading CharacteristicsTechnology CharacteristicsScience CharacteristicsEach scale contains multiple items that are rated using a Likert-type scale. The first four scales (learning, creativity, motivation, and leadership) are used by most schools that use the Scales. The remaining 10 scales are focused on specific areas. They are used by schools when those areas seem appropriate for a gifted program's goals. For example, a program serving gifted math students would use the mathematics scale, a science academy would use the science scale, etc.Research shows that gifted children tend to exhibit certain observable behaviors, such as using advanced vocabulary, grasping underlying principles, and making generalizations from complex information. The Renzulli Scales asks teachers to rate children in comparison to their peers on a host of these observable behaviors. The children who score high on the scales are more likely to be gifted. Using a tool like the Scales, a school can narrow the number of students who will be fully evaluated for a gifted program.The items were chosen from a comprehensive body of research concerning the characteristics of gifted students. Based on a multiple talent approach to the identification of gifted students, the scales help identify student strengths.This online pack includes 100 student "seats."
