Designed to be culturally and linguistically fair, the \u003ci\u003eUTAGS\u003c\/i\u003e is ideal for schools seeking a nationally normed, statistically sound identification screener. Additionally, the \u003ci\u003eUTAGS\u003c\/i\u003e includes specific considerations for identifying twice-exceptional learners. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eUTAGS\u003c\/i\u003e is designed to screen potentially gifted students in six important areas of school success: \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ecognition, \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ecreativity, \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eleadership, \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eliteracy, \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003emath, and\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003escience.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis theoretically sound instrument provides easily interpretable scores in the IQ metric (i.e., Mean = 100; SD = 15) and identifies student strengths\/weaknesses in a quick, accurate, and cost-efficient format. \u003ci\u003eUTAGS\u003c\/i\u003e provides interpretation norms based on a standardization sample of 2,492 participants from 22 states; student demographics closely reflect the United States population. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe authors also provide a guide for local norming. Assessment fairness was a strong consideration during the \u003ci\u003eUTAGS\u003c\/i\u003e development, and teacher raters are requested to focus on effective examinee communication strategies rather than addressing the particular language\/communication mode employed by the student. Consequently, examinees from other cultures, those who have speech limitations, or those who use nonstandard English are not unfairly penalized. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eUTAGS Complete Kit\u003c\/i\u003e includes the \u003ci\u003eAdministration Manual\u003c\/i\u003e and 50 forms. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAges 5 years 0 months-17 years 11 months","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Boxed Pack","offer_id":45235418267799,"sku":"9781618218339","price":13245.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781618218339.webp?v=1769209630","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/utags-complete-kit-9781618218339","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
