GIFTED PRAXIS EXAMS SCRIPT 2026/2027 QUESTIONS
AND SOLUTIONS RATED A+
✔✔evaluating - ✔✔These words are associated with what activity on Bloom's
Taxonomy: appraises, compares, concludes, contrasts, criticizes, critiques, debates,
defends, describes, discriminates, evaluates, explains, interprets, justifies, relates,
summarizes, supports
✔✔]creating - ✔✔These words are associated with what activity on Bloom's Taxonomy:
categorizes, combines, compiles, composes, creates, devises, designs, explains,
generates, modifies, organizes, plans, rearranges, reconstructs, relates, reorganizes,
revises, rewrites, summarizes, tells, writes
✔✔The parallel curriculum model - ✔✔This model, based on an adapted, rigorous
curriculum, offers significant challenges to gifted students in the class and therefore
meets the unique academic needs of gifted students. In this model students are
excused from classroom activities that address the skills they have mastered and are
allowed to work on more advanced, complex learning activities that are concept-based
and support discovery and growth toward expertise.
✔✔Talents Unlimited (TU) model - ✔✔This model is designed to help teachers
recognize and nurture the multiple talents of children.
✔✔decision making on what to learn and how the learning will be evaluated -
✔✔Involving the gifted student in this is the best teacher action to support the student's
self-directed learning.
✔✔read a chapter book - ✔✔The ability to do this at age 5 may be an indicator that a
student is cognitively gifted.
✔✔teacher actions - ✔✔Assessing students before beginning instruction, compiling
data from learning inventories, and using parent feedback from conferences are what
that best support a learning environment that is based on input from students and
stakeholders.
✔✔norm-referenced test - ✔✔This test used primarily to highlight achievement
differences among students, producing a dependable ordering of student ability.
✔✔criterion referenced test - ✔✔These tests are designed to measure student
performance against a fixed set of predetermined criteria or learning standards
✔✔formative assessment - ✔✔The goal of this test is to monitor student learning to
provide ongoing feedback that can be used by instructors to improve their teaching and
by students to improve their learning.
, ✔✔summative assessment - ✔✔The goal of this test is to evaluate student learning at
the end of an instructional unit by comparing it against some standard or benchmark.
✔✔art and music - ✔✔Recognizing and extending complex patterns in these areas
would indicate strong problem-finding and problem-solving skills, which are indicators of
giftedness in a student with a language-learning disability.
✔✔grade telescoping - ✔✔Also called rapid progress, is an accelerated delivery method
for students who have demonstrated that they can handle a significantly faster pace of
instruction. With this, all academic content is covered, but students and instructors work
at a faster pace and cover more than a year's worth of work in a year. It can lead to
faster completion without missing or skipping any content instruction.
✔✔standard deviation - ✔✔The definition of this relates to the variance from the mean
in an assessment set.
✔✔curriculum compacting - ✔✔This occurs after a pre-assessment that determines
what the student already knows. This kind of instruction entails reduced amounts of
introductory activities, drills, and practice so that the time gained can be used for more
advanced content instruction or participation in enrichment activities.
✔✔individual states - ✔✔This government agency mandate legal rights and programs
for gifted students, and local education agencies can modify and adapt programs under
the laws and regulations outlined by the state.
✔✔informal one-on-one conversations - ✔✔Which form of evaluation is most
appropriate for determining a gifted preschool child's level of mathematical
understanding?
✔✔longitudinal studies of student acceleration - ✔✔These provide information on
outcomes over a period of time to ensure that discussion and decision-making are
based on solid data rather than myth, misconception, or personal bias.
✔✔process information in complex ways and formulate abstractions - ✔✔The best
indicator that a student may be gifted intellectually is the ability to do this.
✔✔unusual alertness, excellent memory, long attention span, intensity of focus and
over-excitability. - ✔✔Early indications of superior ability include what.
✔✔identify and eliminate potentially biased practices and procedures form the
identification process - ✔✔The most appropriate solution for addressing the under-
representation of minority students in gifted education programs is do what?
