McCarney, Ed.D.  \nSamm N. House  \n© 2018  \nThe Gifted Evaluation Scale-Fourth Edition (GES-4) subscales are based on the gifted and talented characteristicsidentified in the Gifted and Talented Children’s Education Act of 1978 and included in the current federal definition in the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.  \nThe GES-4 subscales are  \n• Intellectual,  \n• Creativity,  \n• SpecificAcademic Aptitude,  \n• Leadership Ability, and  \n• Performing & Visual Arts.  \nAn optional subscale, Motivation, is available to accommodate those states which require documentation of this characteristic in the identification process of gifted/talented students.  \nDuring development, the GES-4 was subjected to rigorous field testing by teachers from all grade levels (K-12) which resulted in the 48 items included in the scale. The GES-4 was standardized on 2,114 students, 6 through 16 years of age. Demographic characteristics of the standardization sample approximate national percentages for gender, race, ethnicity, geographic area, and occupation of parents.  \nInternal consistency reliability was .99 for the total score. Test-retest reliability yielded correlation coefficients exceeding .90 for each of the subscales. Coefficients for inter-rater reliability for the subscales ranged from .98 to .99 for all age levels. Content validity was established through the initial development process. The scale was compared to the Gifted Rating Scales-School Form (GRS-S) and the Gifted and Talented Evaluation Scales (GATES) as a measure of concurrent validity with all subscales correlating significantly. Criterion-related validity indicated that the GES-4 was effective in differentiating between students that are gifted and talented and those who are not.  \nThe GES-4 uses frequency-referenced quantifiers. Each item on the GES-4 is rated on a five point scale from (1) DOES NOT DEMONSTRATE THE BEHAVIOR OR SKILL to (5) DEMONSTRATES THE BEHAVIOR OR SKILL AT ALL TIMES (CONSISTENTLY) . Following administration, five types of scores may be obtained: frequency rating for each item (reflecting the degree of success in performing a behavior), subscale raw score (the sum of the frequency ratings for each subscale), subscale standard score (a consistent basis for comparing students), percentile (a measure for comparing the student’s performance to the performance of other students), and a quotient score (a global index of all characteristics measured within the total scale) . Using the subscale standard scores, a profile of the student’s level of functioning across the five subscales may be constructed.  \nThe GES-4 takes approximately 15 minutes to complete and can be completed by anyone familiar with the student: the classroom teacher, clinical personnel, or other school personnel. The GES-4 complete kit consists of a technical manual, rating forms, and the Gifted Intervention Manual which contains goals, objectives, and intervention/instructional strategies for the behaviors identified by the GES-4 .  \nThe GES-4 is a valuable tool to assist school personnel in making diagnostic and program planning decisions for gifted and talented children and adolescents. Further, basing the GES-4 on the most commonly used definition of giftedness, coupled with the measurability and specificity of the items, makes such decisions more defensible.  \nH A W T H O R N E Phone: (800) 542-1673 Fax: (800) 442-9509  \n[www.hawthorne-ed.com](www.hawthorne-ed.com)  \nSCHOOL VERSION RATING FORM  \nStephen B. McCarney  \nRATING GUIDELINES  \n• The student should be rated by school personnel who interact directly with the student in the school environment.  \n• The rater should rely on his/her observation of the student’s behavior as it occurs naturally in the school environment. If the rater has no knowledge of the student’s ability to perform a particular item on the scale, it is recommended that the rater consult another person in the school environment to ","cbCaibkAMLBox1ZK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibkAMLBox1ZK","pdf",769795,"English","# GES-4 overview\n## Subscales and optional Motivation\n## Development, standardization, and reliability/validity\n## Scoring and interpretation\n## Completion time and who can administer\n## School version rating form and guidelines\n## Item rating scale (1-5) and instructions","[{\"question\":\"What subscales are included in the GES-4?\",\"answer\":\"The GES-4 includes Intellectual, Creativity, Specific Academic Aptitude, Leadership Ability, and Performing \\u0026 Visual Arts.
