The ToddCast - Don'ts With Gifted Kids
Don'ts with Gifted Kids - Many times we do things with gifted students because we believe it will be of benefit to them when actually it has the opposite effect. Examples would be giving them more work when they finish the assigned work, or having them help a student who is struggling when they get a concept quickly. We have to remember that gifted kids are kids who have specific needs that need to be met in a variety of manner. This means challenging them with appropriate strategies rather than trying to figure out something to do with them to keep them busy or expecting them to be perfect all of the time.
