2. Historical Background
Purpose of the Hispanic Bilingual Gifted Screening Instrument
The Hispanic Bilingual Gifted Screening Instrument is a teacher administered screening inventory of characteristics that are centered within the Hispanic culture. It is designed for use with Hispanic bilingual students in grades Kindergarten through four for the specific purpose of screening students to enter into the pool of potentially gifted who will be referred for further testing. Although this instrument was designed for the specific purpose of screening only, and although it has not been evaluated as one of the instruments on a school district's identification matrix, it is possible, based on the use of other such instruments over time, that the Hispanic Bilingual Gifted Screening Instrument could be included as one component of an identification matrix as a teacher observation rating scale.

Instrument Description
The Hispanic Bilingual Gifted Screening Instrument is the product of an extensive review of literature and data gathered through questionnaires to institutions serving gifted programs. The Hispanic Bilingual Gifted Screening Instrument was initiated with 90 items in These 90 items were derived from over 400 characteristics found in the literature that related to one or more of the following classifications: gifted Hispanics (also in bilingual education), Hispanic familial/sociological/linguistic/academic characteristics, Hispanic elementary students, and diverse gifted populations, including minority, rural, and urban. The Hispanic literature surveyed included the following categories of Hispanics: Latino, Chicano, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Mexican, Mexican-American, Central American, and South American. Further testing reduced the 90 items to 78 items and eleven clusters. Those clusters follow: Cluster 1- Social and Academic Language, Cluster 2-Cultural Sensitivity, Cluster 3- Familial, Cluster 4- Motivation for Learning, Cluster 5- Collaboration, Cluster 6- Imagery, Cluster 7-Achievement, Cluster 8-Support, Cluster 9- Creative Performance, Cluster 10- Problem-Solving, and Cluster 11- Locus of Control
