Who Are Students with Gifts and Talents? Definition According to federal government, Students, children, or youth who give evidence of high achievement capability in areas such as intellectual, creative, or leadership capacity, or in specific academic fields, and who need services or activities not ordinarily provided by school in order to fully develop those capabilities.(Bryant D, Smith, Bryant B 151) “gifted and talented” can be defined in many ways and no one quite agrees.

Joseph Renzulli 3-Ring Conception of Giftedness Above Average Ability Creativity Task Commitment

Types of Gifts and Talents Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligence. Individuals with outstanding performance in any of eight dimensions of intelligence:- Linguistic Logical Mathematical Spatial Body-Kinesthetic Musical Interpersonal Intrapersonal Naturalistic

Characteristics of Giftedness Early and rapid learning Large knowledge base and wide interests Superior analytic ability Advanced interests Inquisitiveness Keen observation Excellent Memory Energy Abstract and insightful thinking High levels of curiosity Well-organized, goal directed and efficient problem solving

Prevalence of Giftedness Special education for the gifted is not mandated or guaranteed funding by IDEA. We can only estimate how many students are identified and receive special services. Many schools identify about 2% to 5% of the school population as gifted.

Culturally and Linguistically Gifted Students The number of students identified as gifted and talented should mirror the demographic changes in population. African American students are underrepresented in gifted programs by 60%. Hispanic and Native American students are underrepresented by 50 to 70%.

Gifted Students with Disabilities Twice Exceptional Students. Paradoxical learners. For example, these students may have advanced mathematical reasoning ability but difficulty with simple calculations. Frustration comes easily and quickly. Afraid of taking academic risks. Difficulty with fine and gross motor skills. Low self-esteem. Poor organization skills. Difficulty with spelling. Because of the unique combination of skills and deficits, twice exceptional students can be some of the most disruptive students in class.

Gifted Females Teachers frequently select activities that appeal more to boy’s interests. Boys are given more instructional time and teacher attention. “Fear of Success Syndrome” in which bright girls intentionally hold back efforts and enthusiasm in order to please others and avoid competition. “Impostor Phenomenon” in which young girls deny their intellectual abilities despite numerous accomplishments.

Teaching Students Who Are Gifted and Talented Differentiated curriculum Acceleration grade skipping advanced placement courses ability grouping honors sections Enrichment Independent study mentorships internships

Examples Adora Svitak Documentary Joseph Renzulli CogAT Test

Questions from Dr. Pamela R. Clinkenbeard’s article Why some bright students never reach the level of success of which they seem so capable? How is motivation related to a gifted level of performance? How would you sustain a goal directed activity?
