Questions from parents
How do I know if my child is really
gifted?
Should I get him/her assessed, and how?
How do I handle my child's school's
poor response to their giftedness?
What kind of school should I choose
for my gifted child?
Questions from teachers
How can we identify the gifted and talented
students in our school?
How do I manage to teach an enriched
and differentiated curriculum for the one gifted child in
my class, when I have 30 others of varying abilities who may
command more of my attention for other reasons?
Can I use the Special Education Grant
(SEG) component of the school operations grant to run programmes
for gifted and talented students?
Do you have to be gifted to teach gifted
students?
What's the best approach for meeting
the needs of gifted and talented student in our school?
Where can I go to seek advice and learn
more about gifted and talented students?
How does a school start a programme
for gifted and talented students?
But isn't it elitist to provide special
programmes for the gifted and talented? They'll "make it"
anyway, won't they?
Don't all parents think their children
are gifted? And if we develop a programme, how do we deal
with demanding parents?
