Scales for Rating the Behavioral Characteristics of Superior Students: Technical and Administration Manual (Third Edition)

In use since 1976 and based on a multiple talent approach to the identification of gifted students, fourteen teacher rating scales help identify student strengths in the following areas: 
• learning
• motivation
• creativity
• leadership
• art
• music
• dramatics
• planning
• communication (precision and expression)
• mathematics
• reading
• science
• technology

Updated with a new introduction, four content scales (mathematics, reading, science, and technology), easy-to-follow instructions on how to establish local norms in your school or district, this manual includes the technical information about how the scales were developed as well as guidelines for using the scales. Extensive appendices include reproducible teacher training activities to help teachers understand how to use the scales and rate students, a practical plan for identifying students for gifted and talented programs, and a complete non-reproducible sample set of scales.

(These scales are also commonly known as the Renzulli Scales and the Renzulli-Hartman Scales.)

Note: These research completed on these scales does not support modifications to these scales.
