- 4. GIFTED CHILD “A giftedstudent is one whose intelligence - typically described as an IQ score resulting from one or more tests - is 130 or above. That is, giftedness is a measure of innate ability, not performance. The result is a paradox.” “'gifted' learners are those with abilities in one or more academic subjects, such as Math or English.” (TeacherFirst.com)

What school coulddo to help gifted children? • Differentiated approaches to learning: Well-trained teachers will tailor lessons to kids based on their abilities, which in most classrooms will be varied. • Pull-out programs: Children attend special classes for math or reading or some other specific skill. • Push-in programs: A resource teacher comes to the classroom on a regular basis to provide enrichment in a particular subject area. • Acceleration: If your gifted child is in 4th grade but capable of 9th grade math, the district may arrange for him to take math at the middle or high school. • Curriculum compacting: Before beginning a new unit, a teacher offers a pre-test, allowing students to demonstrate their knowledge of the subject.
