4.6.1 T2i: Talent, Intelligence, Innovation: Experimental protocol for STEAM profiles
The T2i (Talent, Intelligence, Innovation) is an experimental protocol for gifted and talented students with a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) profile in public school districts. T2i identifies, through its innovative approach, students with high potential in a STEAM strategic intelligence profile who also show a superior capacity for innovation, interest in sciences, and perseverance. T2i meets the needs and realities of public education systems: minimal budgetary and professional investment, fast access to results, and quick group testing execution. T2i readily adapts as it counterbalances ethnic, linguistic, economic, gender differences and some clinical diagnoses. The combination of weighting standard assessments with selected scientific predictors makes the T2i unique.
