“…For example, a number of teachers listed the Hawaii Early Learning Profile (Vort Corporation, 1995) as an assessment they use, while oth-ers listed the HELP-both listings refer to the same instrument and were assigned the same code. Additionally, a number of teachers listed the DIAL (Mardell & Goldenburg, 1975), while others listed the DIAL-R (Mardell-Czudnowski & Goldenberg, 1990) or the DIAL-3 (Mardell-Czudnowski & Goldenburg, 1998), different editions of the same instrument (i.e., the Developmental Indicators for the Assessment of Learning). Again, in these instances a single code was assigned to all response variations.…”

Preschool teachers in Ohio, representing Head Start, Preschool Special Education, and Public School Preschool programs, completed a survey designed to examine their use of assessments and curricula. The 586 preschool teachers provided a range of responses, including reported use of 21 commercial assessments and self-developed and program-developed checklists. A majority of teachers listed curriculum-based measures acceptable in linking assessment and intervention. Teachers also provided a range of curricular responses, including six that met our definition of an actual curriculum. Differences were found between the three types of teachers with respect to their level of education and the total number of assessments and curricula responses, and the number of assessments (including self-developed checklists) and actual curricula used, but not years of experience.

“…DIAL-R is a standardized instrument that facilitates the identification of children at either end of the continuum of readiness skills who may need additional services (Mardell-Czudnowski & Goldenburg, 1983). This measure samples more than thirty separate behaviors that are representative of children from ages two through six and reports norms by age for motor, language, and concept development.…”

Gifted education programs typically underrepresent children from minority and low income backgrounds. Uncommon screening measures were used to identify an equity sample of 68 potentially gifted youngsters who would participate in a summer institute. The instruction offered these preschool and primary grade students was complimented by a learning component for their parents. A common and differentiated curriculum was developed for Anglo and Hispanic parents based on their expressed expectations regarding child development. Findings show that schools can serve communities better when opportunities for growth are provided to parents as well as their children.The underrepresentation of minority populations in gifted education has motivated a wide range of initiatives throughout the United States. These reforms usually support alternative "culture free" screening and identification procedures. One example is the increasing reliance on nominations from teachers who are guided by a checklist of behaviors commonly attributed to exceptional children. It is assumed that these broader methods of assessment will be more equitable to ethnic and low-income students. In order to supplement the judgment of educators, student nominations are also welcomed from sources outside the school. Parents are sometimes asked to rank order their child on a series of statements which describe indicators of giftedness. Another less common strategy invites mothers Robert Strom is Director of the Office
