A Gifted Behaviors Rating Scale with Commentary (GBRSw/C) is required for screening for full-time Level IV
placement. Review each category and the list of descriptors. Assign an overall rating using the rubric for
assigning frequency of exceptional behaviors. Only one Gifted Behaviors Rating Scale per student may be
submitted.

• The lists below are possibilities and examples to be considered in terms of frequency of behavior - not to be used as a
checklist.
• Be sure to consider variations of how gifted behaviors may be exhibited with culturally/linguistically diverse students and for
twice exceptional students.
• Consider exceptionalities compared to students with similar age, experience, or environment, as well as verbal and
nonverbal behaviors (e.g. creative problem solving, abstract thinking).
• As you determine the frequency observed, be sure to consider both how often and in how many subject areas the
behaviors are exhibited and ensure the rating is supported by comments.
