Mr. Renzulli offers a new, research-based definition of giftedness and talent. It is an operational definition intended to help practitioners. He analyzes past definitions along a continuum from conservative to liberal. Conservative definitions focus only on academic performance and intelligence scores above the 95th percentile. More liberal definitions include broader areas like art and leadership. Mr. Renzulli then reviews research showing that gifted individuals have above-average general abilities, task commitment, and creativity interacting together. He proposes a "three-ring conception" definition operationalizing this research.
The document provides a rating scale for teachers to evaluate the behavioral characteristics of superior students. It contains items in the areas of learning, creativity, motivation, and leadership. Teachers are instructed to rate each student on a scale of 1 to 6 based on how frequently they have observed certain behaviors, with 1 being "never" and 6 being "always". The rating scale includes items such as the student's vocabulary, ability to make generalizations, imaginative thinking, concentration, responsibility, and tendency to direct activities involving others. Teachers are asked to fill in the student's name or code number and provide ratings for each of the 37 items listed.

The document discusses high-ability students from disadvantaged backgrounds who have not been identified for gifted programs. It summarizes research showing these "tough bright" students face abuse, neglect, and unsupportive home and school environments. Through interviews with 11 such middle school students, the study found they displayed signs of resilience like verbal skills and wisdom beyond their years, despite difficult personal experiences. It suggests identification methods and programming should account for these students' needs and circumstances to help them succeed.

Peterson - Addressing Counseling Needs of Gifted StudentsPurdueGERI
This document discusses the counseling needs of gifted students and the role of school counselors in addressing those needs. It notes that while gifted students face unique social-emotional issues related to their abilities, school counseling programs provide little training on working with gifted populations.

It argues school counselors should be aware of gifted students' needs and equipped to provide differentiated counseling approaches that acknowledge how giftedness can be both an asset and burden.
This document is a nomination scale for the HOPE1 gifted program. It collects information about a student such as name, grade, date of birth, ethnicity, and ratings on a scale of 1 to 6 for traits like performing at high levels, being self-aware, showing compassion, being a leader, and thinking outside the box. The teacher is also asked to indicate areas of talent like math, reading, or arts and provide additional comments on the student's potential.
This document discusses common characteristics of gifted individuals including a tendency towards negative humor, high expectations of self and others, discrepancies between intellectual and physical development, boredom with regular curriculum, strong memory and verbal skills, idealism, and depression from unrealistic goals. Gifted students may struggle with relationships, self-criticism, impatience, dominance in conversation, and perceptions of arrogance from their abilities and thought processes.
Gifted students often have characteristics like high expectations, an accelerated thought process, and advanced knowledge that can lead to potential problems in school. These problems include a discrepancy between physical and intellectual development, difficulty with the traditional classroom environment, and issues relating to their classmates. The document lists characteristics of gifted students and asks readers to consider problems these traits could cause in a school setting, drawing from the book "Growing Up Gifted" by Barbara Clark.
