A 1978 survey of 42 states found that 37 recognized certain attributes of gifted and talented students including intellectual giftedness, performing/visual arts, academics, creativity, leadership, and cultural diversity. The Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Act supports gifted students but does not fund local programs. It provides grants to develop models to serve underrepresented students and support state and local efforts to improve services. Gifted students need support from teachers and families, with lessons tailored to their abilities. Texas requires 30 hours of professional development in gifted education for those teaching gifted students.
Gifted and Talented Students
Gifted and talented students are difficult to define precisely but generally refer to the top 2% of students academically. They are often identified by superior performance, advanced vocabulary, and problem-solving skills, but can also struggle from boredom, anxiety, or feeling isolated from peers. Teachers are key in identification and should be aware of models like Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences and Renzulli's three-ring concept of giftedness, which classify strengths across various abilities. Supporting gifted students requires differentiation, enrichment, and adapting curriculum to motivate them while in regular classrooms. Acceleration and extracurricular programs can further challenge very gifted students.

Differentiated instruction involves adjusting the content, teaching methods, student products, or learning environment based on student needs, interests, and readiness levels. Teachers can differentiate in four ways: by content, process, product, or learning environment. Effective differentiation recognizes student diversity in areas like background, language, ability levels, and interests, and provides multiple paths for students to learn and demonstrate their understanding. Teachers must have a deep understanding of their students and be able to respond flexibly to meet varying needs.

Demystifying Social-Emotional Learning: How Measuring SEL Skills Affects Clas...
A growing number of researchers, educators, and policymakers agree that social and emotional learning (SEL, or noncognitive) is essential for a wide range of outcomes in academic and life success. Decades of research have shown that attention to SEL predicts many important outcomes across different ages, countries, and cultures:
- 77% of teachers say that strong SEL skills improve academic performance
- 87% of teachers believe that SEL is a major benefit in preparing students for the workforce
- On average, every $1 invested in SEL-development programs yields $11 in long-term benefits, ranging from reduced juvenile crime, higher lifetime earnings, and better mental and physical health
This webinar highlights important SEL research, policy, and emerging practice that can have very positive effects on K-12 educators and students. Topics include:
- How measuring SEL skills is elevated by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)
- How these factors predict academic outcomes, including achievement, retention, and citizenship behaviors; as well as how these expand into indicators of college and career readiness
- How to integrate various SEL frameworks into a comprehensive model, with various crosswalks
- How to best measure these skills, with coverage of new measurement paradigms that represent advances over traditional self-report assessments
- A brief introduction to ACT® Tessera, a noncognitive assessment that uses a holistic approach to measuring college and career readiness with data and tools to intervene on these skills, should issues emerge

The document discusses cluster grouping, which places students into classrooms based on their achievement levels. It does this for several reasons: it is cost effective, places students with intellectual peers, ensures teachers are trained to meet special needs, allows high achievers to emerge as leaders, and reduces the range of achievement levels teachers must teach. It defines the different achievement groupings used in cluster grouping as high achieving, above average, average, low average, and low achieving. It also clarifies that while there is a designated high achieving classroom, all teachers receive training in differentiation, and the high achieving classroom rotates among teachers every 3-4 years.
Instructional leadership (chapter 2 student diversity)
This document discusses student diversity and creating inclusive classrooms. It defines student diversity as differences in gender, ethnicity, and abilities. Fostering resilience in students and teachers can help overcome educational challenges of poverty. Key factors in resilient classrooms include academic self-efficacy, caring relationships, and self-determination. Teachers must be aware of cultural learning styles and create compatible classrooms. They should also avoid gender bias and stereotypes by balancing cooperative and competitive activities.
Ability grouping
1) Ability grouping refers to grouping students into classes based on their academic abilities and achievements, such as high, average, and low groups. This is done to better tailor instruction to students' learning needs.
2) There are two main types of ability grouping: between-class, where students of different abilities are separated into different classes, and within-class, where students of varying abilities are grouped for certain subjects or activities within the same class.
3) Proponents argue that ability grouping allows for a faster pace for gifted students, more individualized attention, and increased confidence for struggling students when they are in classes with peers of similar abilities. However, critics argue it can harm low-achieving students
