Definitions:
Giftedness
is
defined
as
high
performance
in
intellectual
and
artistic
abilities.
Gifted
students
need
educational
services
beyond
what
is
provided
in
the
general
classroom.
However,
not
all
gifted
students
are
able
to
demonstrate
their
abilities
on
assessments
and
academic
achievement.
For
example,
many
students
are
creative,
inquisitive,
and
motivated,
which
are
traits
not
recognized
by
an
assessment.
Therefore,
students
can
be
considered
gifted
and
talented
without
being
proficient
in
the
instruction
language.
Other
attributes
of
giftedness
include:
communication
skills,
problem-
solving
strategies,
curiosity,
expansive
memory,
insight,
reasoning,
humor,
inquiry,
imagination,
and
intense
hobbies
or
interests.
Key Considerations:
Standardized
tests
are
often
used
to
recognize
gifted/talented
students,
making
diverse
groups
unequally
represented.
Culturally
diverse
students
must
be
identified
as
gifted/talented
within
the
context
of
their
own
culture.
The
percentage
of
ELL
students
in
gifted/talented
programs
should
be
equal
to
the
percentage
of
native
speakers
involved.
Focus
needs
to
be
put
on
students
strengths
rather
than
their
weaknesses.
Low
teacher
expectations
of
minority
students.
