[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read this here alot, but the teaching is done to groups (in our case 30 kids no less); so I don't see why individual testing is so favored since there is no individual teaching. I mean they don't get their hands held one-on-one with a teacher. I can be pretty rough and tumble in those GT classrooms at times!  Isn't group testing more consistent with group teaching. Put another way, since there's no individual teaching why is individual testing so favored by some around here?[/quote]

There's no "rough and tumble" in the GT center classrooms we have been in, but perhaps ours have been/are the exception.  In our GT center classrooms, there has been more small group instruction than entire-classroom-at-once lecturing.  So I disagree that group testing is more consistent with group teaching.  The point of the testing is to capture the child's strengths through a nationally normed instrument. If the goal is to mimic the GT center classroom environment, maybe we should do all testing in late May/early June in a heatwave with little-to-no functioning air conditioning.  :wink: [/quote]
