students need?
The curriculum is not challenging
Instructional pace is too slow
Mastered information is repeated often
Not enough opportunities available to study
topics of personal interests

thinking skills, predominates.

students?

Teachers can look for characteristics in students such
as: curiosity, rapid rates of development, creativity,
thoughtfulness, and innovativeness.
IQ tests are the most common way in which children
are determined eligible for programs in education of
the gifted. --However portfolios, and teacher
nominations can also be used.
