Guidance for the gifted
Article Abstract:
There are estimates of between 140,000 and 280,000 gifted elementary students. In order to reach them, they must be first identified. Teachers should observe students' entire behavior spectrum for both positive and negative aspects. As a minority, gifted children often feel isolated and have difficulty adjusting due to their special skills. Teachers should work to integrate these children into class by providing opportunities to interact.
