GT-Enrichment (updated April 2000) Where can I find enrichment activities for students who are gifted? The field of gifted education has been, for many years, a laboratory for the development of creative educational enrichment activities. Critical thinking, problem-finding, and problem-solving activities, for example, were originated by professionals working in gifted education. Recently these creative activities have been used successfully in heterogeneous classrooms, and teachers have found that the activities are highly stimulating for general education populations. The abstracts included here are typical examples of activities that were designed for gifted students, and may also be useful for general education populations. Following are links to related 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.

What can we learn form research done by mathematics educators about teaching and learning these skills?" Additional reviews are available at

Co-teaching in a Differentiated Classroom: The Impacts on Third Grade Gifted and Talented Math Students Gina Masso University of Connecticut Storrs, CT Behind the varying levels of student intellect and motivation in any given classroom lies the challenge of meeting each student's individual learning needs. This includes not only the needs of struggling students, but also the needs of intellectually advanced or gifted and talented students. A classroom of students with a diverse level of ability and motivation requires the use of a differentiated instruction model. The most common way teachers group students in a differentiated classroom is by intellectual ability. However, such rigid grouping may stigmatize a child as a member of "the high math group" or "the low reading group." A method that alleviates this grouping stigma is flexible ability grouping. In-class flexible ability grouping is an instructional approach in which students' knowledge is assessed prior to each unit in all disciplines. Based on their prior knowledge of the subject matter, students within the general education classroom are placed in small groups by their ability and understanding. "When ability grouping is utilized in a flexible and temporary manner, with appropriate curricular adjustment, significant achievement gains can be realized" (Tieso, 2003, p. 29). Teachers can then differentiate the level, depth, and breadth of instruction to provide learning opportunities that maximize student strengths and potential.

Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Disabilities and Gifted Education Reston VA. Blending Gifted Education and School Reform. ERIC Digest #E525. School reform initiatives have resulted in many changes in American education during the past decade. The complexity of the process has presented numerous challenges for every educator. Juxtaposed against the reform climate are several other changes that have affected American classrooms: changing demographics, increasing diversity of student populations, and limited fiscal resources. It is within this broad context that the needs of our most capable youth must be challenged. This digest provides a process for assuring that the unique needs of students who are gifted are addressed within the context of systemic reform. Several key elements guide the process: creating belief statements, clarifying the issues, and designing strategies for implementation. CREATING BELIEF STATEMENTS Belief statements define systemic parameters as reflected in a district's vision statement and expected outcomes. For example, what is believed about students who are gifted is based on what is believed about all learners. Creating belief statements about all learners is guided by the following questions:

Definitions Definitions of Learning Disabilities ... References Abstract Many people have difficulty comprehending that a child can be gifted and also have learning disabilities. As a result, children with special needs that result from both their high abilities and their learning problems are rarely identified and are often poorly served. This article explores the current policies and practices with regard to defining, identifying, and educating this population. Recommendations are included that would help ensure that students who are gifted and have learning disabilities receive the intervention needed to help them achieve their full potential. When educators first began describing children who showed evidence of having a learning disability (LD) yet also appeared to be gifted, many viewed this as contradictory. The stereotype that had prevailed since Terman's (1925) time was that gifted children score uniformly high on intelligence tests and perform well in school. How could a child be considered gifted who has serious enough learning problems to be characterized as having a learning disability?

Gouging the gifted? Talented students often play second fiddle The Capital Times January 23, 1999 Reprinted with permission By Jason Shepard Correspondent for The Capital Times Some of the most gifted students in Dane County are not getting enough support in school despite attempts in many area districts to boost educational programs aimed at helping them learn more. That's the consensus of a half dozen Dane County educators in charge of programs for talented and gifted students. They say schools have a moral and legal obligation to give students the best education they can and that includes challenging the brightest kids, who may be bored with the curriculum in their class. In Wisconsin, state law mandates that schools have a talented and gifted program. But unlike mandates regarding students with disabilities and learning problems, the law gives school districts the option of coming up with money to fund TAG programs. At a time when money for education is stretched to the limit, finding a school district with a strong financial commitment to TAG students is difficult. Statistics from the state Department of Public Instruction for the 1997-98 school year show that spending in school districts statewide for talented and gifted instruction totaled 0.6 percent of district budgets, while spending for special education instruction totaled 16.79 percent.

Beyond belief - talent development in music Author: Felicia Chadwick The University of Newcastle Abstract The Australian arts media frequently reports on the achievements of young Australian performing musicians, composers and conductors. The image of Australia as a "cultural wilderness" has been rapidly dispelled by the remarkable achievements of young Australian performing artists on the national and international arts scenes. The recent establishment of an Australian National Academy of Music, offering a range of programs for the advancement of gifted young musicians is testament to the growing need for opportunities for talent development in the music field. Music education research supports the need for early intervention in order to facilitate the development of a child's musical abilities. Pre-school involvement in generalist musical activities is growing in popularity throughout Australia as parents seek opportunities to "head-start" their children in this field. Private music tuition and community-based ensemble activities are well supported by families in the bid to develop the musical potential of their children. This paper considers conditions which facilitate the development of musical gifts and talents. Based upon an Australia-wide sample early indications suggest that a population of well educated, professional parents who invest considerable time and money in their child's musical involvement, are contributing significantly to the profile of Australia as a centre for cultural achievement in music. Talent development in music requires more than just belief. It requires a philosophical commitment backed by economic means to realise the potential of the child.
