Don't assume they are good at everything

2025-04-09 14:35:17 UTC

Do challenge them through independent inquiry and projects

Think they can work independently all the time, they need assistance too.

2025-04-09 14:35:47 UTC

Don't assume they are gifted at everything

Ask higher-order questions — things that don’t have right/wrong answers.

Do use flexible grouping so that students can learning from each other- they aren't gifted at everything

2025-04-09 14:36:33 UTC

Assume that one way of teaching fits all gifted students’ needs

2025-04-09 14:36:35 UTC

Give them a choice when it comes to assignments. They need to be challenged in a way that supports their giftedness.

2025-04-09 14:36:37 UTC

Challenge them with harder questions

There is no standard of legally universal way to identify and teach gifted learners

2025-04-09 14:37:00 UTC

Don't have them peer tutor just because they finish early- they might not be great at explaining to others

2025-04-09 14:37:07 UTC

Don't think that they are great at everything

Check in often and give them more control in the classroom.

Students can be gifted in one area but have an IEP for a learning disability. This is called twice exceptional.

make the gifted student a teacher's assistant

gifted doesn't mean high achievement

Just because students make very high grades doesn't mean they're gifted

2025-04-09 14:38:22 UTC

2025-04-09 14:38:25 UTC

Do collaborative activities

Collaboration in diverse groups can be useful for gifted students in learning

2025-04-09 14:38:41 UTC

2025-04-09 14:38:52 UTC

Don't give them extra busy work.

2025-04-09 14:38:55 UTC

Don't overlook them and assume they are doing good on their own.

2025-04-09 14:39:28 UTC

Gifted does not just mean high grades relating to learning.

do

allow students to have choice over what they would like to read and do, but provide them with the choices that are equally as stimulating with room for deeper thinking.

2025-04-09 14:39:37 UTC

It's important to challenge the students but also to support them.

gracekarunakerst — 2025-04-09 14:39:48 UTC

don't give them basic recall.

2025-04-09 14:40:08 UTC

Just because a student has an IEP doesn't mean they can't also be a gifted learner.

gracekarunakerst — 2025-04-09 14:40:24 UTC

dont assume that they are all amazing learners and don't need help. they may be lacking in some skills/areas

2025-04-09 14:40:32 UTC

being gifted doesn't always relate to good grades

gracekarunakerst — 2025-04-09 14:40:44 UTC

students can both have an iep and gifted plan
