Gifted students can balance more work.
Gifted students are often hard for teachers or parents to work with. These students are exceptionally bright and often become bored with the typical classroom setting of their peers. Though they are very intelligent and capable of learning at a very fast pace when compared with others their age, parents and teachers can find working with these children difficult or shocking. Unlike their peers, gifted students will take interest in subjects that are ahead of their level and will often grow bored with work that is not challenging to their minds.
Instructions
1.
o 1
Give them a challenge. Gifted students need constant challenges to improve. When they become bored, they can easily become class clowns and lazy, refusing to do work and letting their grades fall behind. They need challenges academically, and teachers and parents should supply these challenges.
o 2
Answer questions they ask. Gifted students will often ask questions that are deeper in thought than their peers. The best action any parent or teacher can do is to answer the question. When the answer is unknown, tell the student, "I don't know." They will respect adults who are honest.
o 3
Treat them with respect. Gifted students are exceptionally intelligent and will often become annoyed by adults who treat them like children. They will recognize when teachers and parents are respectful and will be thankful for the respect. Gifted students are often mature for their age and can feel as if they are being patronized when treated like children.
o 4
Get them a tutor in areas of interest. Gifted students are still students. Their interests should be encouraged, even if it is beyond their age level. A tutor can help them develop interests and avoid boredom.
o 5
Give them extra work. Gifted students are able to do work beyond what their peers are doing, so give them extra work when they finish classroom assignments.
o 6
Allow the student to learn at his own pace. Gifted students will all learn quickly, but every student is different and they all need to learn at a pace that suits their personal abilities. This is useful for all students, but especially for those gifted and talented.
Definitely we are not dealing properly with the gifted and we need to treat them in a different way accepting their answers, respecting their ideas and make use of this giftedness
ReplyDeletesure Haneen and this will not be an easy job. we have to prepare our selves very much.
ReplyDeleteEvery class contains a sample of students, that are talented or gifted, and dealing with them in a different way is essential to motivate them n order to improve their talents. These six traits are effective and they aren't that difficult to apply, so I wish that teachers use them in order to reach to a higher achievement.
