Working with students who are gifted is rewarding, but can be difficult at times. Meeting the needs of these students is critical. Create independent projects so students can use all of their time up wisely. For motivation, create some friendly academic competition! Doing this will challenge the students academically, but it also gives the students the opportunity to develop leadership skills. Finding a mentor for your students can also be beneficial.

I will look for the helpers in my classroom. Giving them the opportunity to do things after their assignment is finished if I did not make a special assignment will help keep them doing something productive in the class.

I will take the time to get to know what my gifted students excel in so I can incorporate more challenging activities for them.

I will treat my students with an open mind set and understand the help they need and do my best as an educator to allow them to learn to the fullest potential.
