What are some characteristics of children with gifts and talents?
There are many different characteristics for children with gifts and talents. When reading chapter 9
it mentioned creativity being the major characteristic. One researcher defined creativity as the ability to generate ideas,
products, or solutions that are considered novel and useful for a given problem, situation, context.
Another characteristic of a gifted child is perfectionism. Some gifted children can slip into depression by being teased by classmates
for getting scores about a 90 or so. Teachers need to be aware of these things when dealing with gifted students.
When being teased by peers teachers need to find a civil way for the normal students get a long with the gifted.
The idea of the picture taking is good in many ways for meeting all the needs of the students in the classroom.
Everyone was capable of doing the activity, and we weren't limited on what
we could or could not take pictures of. Granted we had specific categories that we had to
take pictures of, but the students had the opportunity to take different pictures than other groups and be creative.
Hi there. Nice posting.
ReplyDeleteHow does the hyperlink to the characteristics of students with talents and gifts work? I see the website, but your hyperlink should take the reader directly to a page that expands upon the word or phrase you highlighted.
Think of what you wrote here: When being teased by peers teachers need to find a civil way for the normal students get a long with the gifted.
What do you mean by "normal" students? Is there a better way to word this?
Shelly is right, try finding a differnt word than "normal students" I'm sure you didn't think anything of it when you were writting that term but you should think of something more approporiate than that. Some students might take offense to that, and I'm sure that's not what you were intentionally trying to do.
