Understanding and Using the Naglieri General Ability Tests (A Call for Equity in Gifted Education)

An accessible guide to identifying gifted students and creating equity and inclusion within gifted programs.

The Naglieri tests (the NNAT series) have long been a standard in the field of ability testing. Amid the calls for equity and inclusion within gifted education, the new Naglieri General Ability Tests aim to meet that need. This companion, Understanding and Using the Naglieri General Ability Tests, offers educators administering the tests or who have students taking the tests a guide to the why, how, and what now.
 
Split into three parts, Understanding and Using the Naglieri General Ability Tests covers:

• why there is a need for these new ability tests for gifted identification
• how these new tests and test data are used most effectively to identify gifted students from all racial, cultural, linguistic, and socioeconomic backgrounds
• what educators can do now to create equity and inclusion within gifted programs and services.

Written by well-known gifted education experts Dina M. Brulles, Ph.D., Kimberly Lansdowne, Ph.D., and Jack A. Naglieri, Ph.D., Understanding and Using the Naglieri General Ability Tests provides administrators, gifted coordinators, and teachers with clear direction for answering the call for equity and inclusion in education.
