Due to this, the misconception is that GT students feel superior or better. This is not true. They try their best to fit in and this can cause a lot of social and emotional difficulties for them.

They usually keep their full abilities to themselves in order to not be resented by their peers. We usually think GT students are outgoing and ready to take on any task, much like I thought at first in my own room. After researching, I have read and heard that this is not the case in order to not feel alienated.

After reading Tamara Fisher's article, GT is a program that helps students who learn differently not just excel in everything that we give them. It's a program that GT students need in order to keep moving forward. We must make sure we challenge them to soar higher, not just our lower students, because they matter and need to strive to a goal as well. Its an enhancement that will promote the higher level learning that these students thrive for! :)

This is a major misconception when deciding on which students may be GT. Some students act out due to boredom because of how much excelling they do because of being gifted. Students get bored and want to be preoccupied where we see this as behavior it could just clearly be not enough engagement or higher level questioning/thinking or tasks.
