Cover of Understanding and Using the Naglieri General Ability Tests

Navigating the Naglieri General Ability Tests: A Practical Guide for Educators

The Naglieri tests (the NNAT series) have long been a standard in the field of ability testing. Amid calls for improved practices in gifted education, the new Naglieri General Ability Tests aim to meet that need. This companion, Understanding and Using the Naglieri General Ability Tests, offers educators administering the tests—or who have students taking the tests—a guide to the why, how, and what now. 


Split into three parts, the book covers:


• Why there is a need for these new ability tests for gifted identification
• How these new tests and test data are used most effectively to identify gifted students from a wide range of backgrounds
• What educators can do now to enhance gifted programs and services

Written by well-known gifted education experts Dina M. Brulles, Ph.D., Kimberly Lansdowne, Ph.D., and Jack A. Naglieri, Ph.D., Understanding and Using the Naglieri General Ability Tests provides administrators, gifted coordinators, and teachers with clear direction for advancing best practices in gifted education.
