Why do people in gifted education get easier work?
Q. I was in it for a year but never got back in and in comparison regular students get much harder work where as some kids in my class who are in gifted education describe it, and from the sounds of it it is much easier work than the normal classes. What is your opinion?
Asked by Colby - Thu Apr 9 10:20:57 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Its the same way in my school. I'm in the gifted program, and people taking cp classes always complain about how hard they are, and it does sound a lot harder than the honors and gifted classes are. I don't understand that, but maybe it's just that different. I've wondered about this for a while too.

What is it like to be a gifted education teacher?
Q. I've been in the gifted program my whole life an now I'm thinking about becoming a gifted teacher. Do gifted teachers get paid more than regular teachers? What is it like? Is it better to teach middle or elementary school kids? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Asked by ashlehflemang - Mon Aug 17 22:15:27 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. hey I'm pretty sure that you don't get paid any extra for teaching gifted students. As far as preference goes, that's totally up to you. It's all a matter of making a connection with students and what age group you feel comfortable with. I really don't think it matters what you teach, it's such a rewarding career!

Asked by Emily K - Wed Mar 4 02:27:02 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I know what you mean, but gifted education IS special education. I don't know about the general population, but in my school district, 20% of the students are the "traditional" special ed; learning disabilities, hearing or vision problems, ADD/ADHD, physical problems, etc. In the general population you can expect about 5% to be intellectually "gifted". As you go up the scale closer and closer to the top 1%, you end up with kids as horribly disadvantaged in a regular classroom as some of the special ed students. In a "public" school system, a parent should expect his child, no matter what, to have equal access to whatever they need for their education. The idea is that each child should be educated to their potential. I know that… [cont.]

Joshua wants to compare past and present trends in the education of gifted children.?
Q. Joshua wants to compare past and present trends in the education of gifted children. This is an example of what type of research? a. longitudinal b. experimental c. historical d. correlational
Asked by Q L - Wed Feb 18 20:31:40 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The comparison of past and present trends is probably historical. Longitudinal follows groups or even only a few people over a period of time to see what has been happening. Usually this will shed more light on how those specific people developed but will shed light on how things changed over time too, if you look for it. Experimental and correlational might be things that happened at certain periods of time of gifted education, and may be included in your comparison, but is not the type of research Josh will be doing. Good luck!

Asked by haisani15 - Sun Jul 19 01:58:39 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. OK! So the GATE test is not hard at all! its just a little confusing. They have you draw pictures in boxes right a paragraph about a picture, write numbers backwards or upside down. The great thing about the test is that you don't have to study for it! There's nothing to study for. just remember, the test is seeing if you think outside of the box. Good Luck! BTW: You might not even realize your thinking outside of the box, think normally and trust yourself, you got this!

A. He should also seek training in working with G/T students...they tend to learn in completely different ways than non-gifted students. They also tend to have learning differences (dyslexia, etc.) that are more pronounced, so he needs to know how to work with these.

A. I am 14 and have been in my school's gifted education program for 6 years. We identify students by a teacher or parent recommended IQ test. The score must be above 130 to be in the gifted program. After I was tested, about a week later I walked into my first gifted class. Beginning in junior high, we have gifted every day for 45 minutes, while all the other students are in study hall. Services are delivered at our home school, and classes are rarely cancelled.

A. At just under 2 years old, just let the child play and be a kid. Believe it or not playing is a very important to a childs development. I don't think schools or homeschooling will let a child this age start programs but you can encourage this child to continue to grow in their talent.

Formal Education for a Gifted 4-year old in Washington State?

She's very bright and it would be a waste to make her have to wait a year only to have her enrolled in Kindergarten which she would probably get bored in.

Asked by tea4twoholiday - Sat Aug 1 20:37:21 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. One of the first questions you will need to get answered: Are the students gifted in languages or reading? Students who are gifted may not be gifted in your teaching area. They may be gifted in mathematics, science, art, or music; they may be lousy in languages or reading. Few students (if any) are gifted in all areas of study. Read! Read! Read! Initiate book studies. Learn about and use literature circles. Foster a love of reading. Write! Write! Write! Teach students the importance of writing. Show them how to communicate clearly.

Your opinion on this sort of gifted program?
Q. I went to a small Catholic school with good academics but no "gifted" program. My daughter is in 1st grade and has started in gifted this year. At her school, she spends one morning one day a week with other "gifted" children. The rest of the time she's in her regular class. I asked her what she does each day she's been in class (3 of them so far), and each days it's been a game somewhat related to what the kids have been doing in their classrooms. Is this normal for gifted education? What do you see as the benefits and disadvantages?

A. gifted programming is usually a place where children are less confined by school standards. I have never know of children that young being in the programme (I am from Ontario) So I would assume that the programme would be different for the age. But think of it as independent learning. Also some gifted children are gifted at risk, so they might need help in other ares, that might be a reason??? If you are able go to the school and either ask the teacher or observe the class.

Gifted and talented education programs?
Q. How far should gifted and talented programs go? Should children be separated by ability level? If they are already separated out for some supplemental education, should more benefit be provided by these supplemental programs... such as a higher level class? There are pros and cons to the separation of different ability levels. From the perspective of a gifted student who was only partially separated out about once a week, I believe the all or nothing approach is better. In fact, I think being separated by ability levels help the students to perform at their own pace, and not get rediculous notions of their own academic prowess. Have there been studies done on the effectiveness of these practices? What are your thoughts as a Y/A member?
Asked by peachfuzz - Mon Apr 16 13:07:57 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Gifted programs (having been in an excellent one) provide numerous benefits, but must be handled delicately. The most glaring positive aspect is the education. You are with students of your own intelligence level (or at least same IQ) and are able to learn at a faster pace; usually at a higher grade level as well. Few public schools would be willing to accommodate these students by sending them to public high schools for math/science (particularly, as the programs emphasize these as a general rule). I learned an unbelievable amount and the courses were sufficiently challenging and fast-paced. The standard course was too slow for students who were not even in the gifted programs, I was lucky not to have to sit through it. The negative… [cont.]

A. When I was in Elementary school one of my teachers recommended me to gate because of my performance in her class. I went and took a test to be accepted into the program and passed with 98 percentile. From then on I was placed in GATE classes and Honors classes throughout Middle School and High School. It's definitely beneficial for you to be involved in GATE. As for the IQ, there is no minimum (officially). You are in the program because you have proven yourself capable of handling above-average learning. The closest they come to testing your IQ is the test to accept you into GATE, but it is not an IQ test and I took it many years ago, so I'm not sure if they still administer it. -Fig
