Each student’s standing relative to all other students in the nation, the local school or school district, and any subgroup (such as ELL status) can also be determined.

(2006).  Understanding and predicting regression effects in the identification of academically gifted children.  Paper presented at AERA, San Francisco.  This talk provided an update and extension of the Lohman & Korb (2006) paper.

Invited presentation at the Eight Biennial Henry B. & Jocelyn Wallace National Research Symposium on Talent Development, University of Iowa, Iowa City.  In addition to general issues in the identification of academically talented minority students, this paper also shows how the NNAT Fall standardization data reported in Naglieri & Ford (2003) were altered to achieve proportional representation of high-scoring White, Black, and Hispanic students.  Click here for the PowerPoint slides used in this presentation.

Lohman, D. F. & Renzulli, J.  (2007). A simple procedure for combining ability test scores, achievement test scores, and teacher ratings to identify academically talented children.  In this paper, we show how to convert CogAT scores and achievement test scores to points that can be combined in a simple but principled way.  Then we show how these point totals can be used in conjunction with teacher ratings of creativity, ability, and motivation from the SRBCSS to help identify academically talented children,  This only the first draft of this paper, and so feedback on the paper (and the system) would be much appreciated.
