Useful websites Motivating gifted and talented children What are the issues surrounding the differing needs of gifted and talented children within a mainstream classroom? Should gifted and talented pupils be singled out? Some teachers raised the point that challenging all pupils in a class should be integral to planning and that open ended written or research tasks can stretch the most able. Other pupils may seek to emulate the success of the higher achievers, which can raise work standards as a whole. The point was raised that teachers mustn't overlook the so-called 'ordinary' class members in favour of developing pupils at the higher and lower ends of the attainment scale. As well as open-ended tasks, extra-curricular activities can be motivational to gifted students, respondents noted. There needs to be a full and frank discussion about the value and benefits of large investment into summer schools for gifted and talented pupils.

The words 'gifted' and 'talented' have meant many things to many different people. The DfES definition is as follows: Talented Top 5-10% of pupils per school as measured by actual or potential achievement in the subjects of Art, Music, PE, Games Gifted Top 5-10% of pupils per school as measured by actual or potential achievement in the other curriculum subjects This definition has two important elements: a) The definition is relational. Being 'gifted' and 'talented' is not necessarily a matter of possessing an objective quality which would mark a pupil as being gifted and/or talented in any other school. It is simply a matter of being amongst the most able 5- 10% of pupils in a particular school.

Your son won't do what he must do. He drives me crazy, yes it's true! He will stall and squirm and hum, and leave all of his work undone. He dreams and will not pay attention, have you considered medication? With other kids he does not play, he is alone much of the day. Something does not seem quite right, because I know he must be bright. He seems to learn, despite the rest, but the work is not his best. He is disruptive, yes it's true. He just won't do what he must do! Yes, teacher, I can really see, how frustrating all this must be, A child who does not meet the norm, a child whose mold won't fit the form. I've had him tested on WISC-III, by your approved test agency. He scores far higher than the mean, there's more to this that can be seen. So help us, help us find the way, to teach this child best if we may. He is not like the rest you see, he acts and thinks far differently.

Gifted/Talented and Attention Deficit Disorder (updated April 2000) I think my child is gifted. My child's teacher says he might have an attention deficit disorder. Is this possible? Where can I get information on children who are gifted and might have an attention deficit disorder? During the past five years, an increasing number of gifted children have been identified or diagnosed as having attention deficit disorder, with or without hyperactivity. This dramatic increase is somewhat disturbing, and has been explained in many different ways including greater awareness on the part of educational professionals and improved diagnostic techniques. However, ADD in gifted students is difficult to assess because so many of the behavioral characteristics are similar to those associated with giftedness or creativity. A child who is gifted may have ADD. Without a thorough professional evaluation, including a physical examination by a physician, it is hard to tell. Following are links to related ERIC Digests, Internet resources, and Internet discussion groups, as well as selected citations from the ERIC database and the search terms we used to find the citations.

OTEC Home Page Special Education Talented and Gifted Students In 1987, the Oregon Legislature passed legislation requiring schools to have TAG programs. "Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors." African Proverb Unlike children with disabilities, Talented and Gifted children receive relativley little protection under U.S. Fedenral Law. Without a federal law to protect the legal rights of gifted children, the responsibility for such mandates rests with the states. Approximately 30 states have a mandate to serve gifted children, while the remaining ones have permissive legislation (Council of State Directors of Programs for the Gifted, 1994). The National Association for Gifted Children has written a position paper supporting the concept that each state should mandate by law educational opportunities for gifted children. (Karnes and Marquardt). In 1987, the Oregon Legislature passed legislation requiring schools to have TAG programs. TAG funding from the state legislature and the Oregon Department of Education has been at a very very low level. It currently amounts to about $2.50 per such student per year. This estimate is based on about 8% of Oregon students being identified as TAG, and a funding level of $100,000 a year. This certainly provides a good example of a Legislature not adequately funding one of its mandates!

A full-time director leads the residence hall activities. College students with strong academic backgrounds serve as Resident Assistants (RAs). Each student is assigned to a family group led by an RA who is trained in the special social and affective needs of the gifted student. Instructional Strategies Strategies that have been shown to be particularly effective in stimulating the interest and ability of gifted students are used in the classroom. In addition to more traditional methods, such as lecture and discussion, instructors use hands-on methods of learning that promote active participation and higher order thinking. Such hands-on strategies include debates, construction of models or plans, simulations, dramatic performances, and other demonstrations or projects. Meals Students dine with the RAs and other TAG staff in the Umphrey Lee Cafeteria. Portions are generous and refills unlimited. Many vegetarian meals are available; hot entrees, fruits and salads are offered at each meal along with sandwiches and cereal. The fare is typically institutional. Sunday evening meals are pizza, barbecues, or other informal events.
