What is a VISUAL-SPATIAL LEARNER?



Visual-Spatial on Hoagies

= ﻿TESTING FOR VISUAL-SPATIAL STRENGTHS IN DPS = Beginning in 2010, DPS students in grades 3-8 are given the Ravens Progressive Matrices every other year. The Ravens is a non-verbal assessment. There is no text to read for non-verbal assessments. Students are asked to analyze characteristics or patterns of figures or geometric shapes. The example to the right gives an idea of a non-verbal task. One criteron for qualifying for Gifted and Talented identification is a score above the 90th percentile on the Ravens. That alone will not qualify a student, but it will indicate a non-verbal strength.
