Description: The Gifted Rating Scales are norm-referenced rating scales based on current theories of giftedness and federal and state guidelines regarding the definition of gifted and talented students. Pre-school and Kindergarten teachers complete the Pre-School/Kindergarten GRS-P form for children between the ages of 4:0 and 6:11 years. This form of GRS–P contains brief scales covering five domains: intellectual, academic readiness, motivation, creativity and artistic talent. Teachers complete six brief scales on the School-Age GRS–S form to evaluate children between the ages of 6:0 through 13:11 years who are in grades 1 - 8. The six domains include: intellectual, academic, motivation, creativity, leadership and artistic talent. Features and Benefits: - The GRS validity studies have been conducted to link to leading cognitive and achievement batteries. - Both forms of the GRS provide a standardized method for identifying children for gifted and talented programs based on teacher observations. - Both forms of the GRS allow for identification of relative strengths and specific areas of giftedness. - Both forms of the GRS provide specific behavioral guidelines for identification of giftedness within each domain. - Teachers can complete both forms of the GRS easily and quickly.
