#Gifted...Its Who They Are. #gtchat #gifteded #ghfblogger When the author comes across and says the giftedness isn’t relevent to K-12 education, I have a problem with that. We have a full curriculum. We have classrooms full of students of various intelligence. It’s hard to get through a “rigorous” curriculum. Knowing which students are gifted, and knowing what their abilities are will make it easier for teachers to give those students the appropriate curriculum they deserve. It’s no different when a student has a learning disabilities. They need to get the appropriate curriculum that is appropriate for them. It seems we are continually fighting the battle of perception. I know what when my students come to my class they are having fun, but they are learning. I am challenging them in many different ways. Some of my collueges believe my class is seen as “fluff” or something that can be taken away from a student like a bargaining chip, because my class isn’t graded. But, would it be appropriate to not serve a student with learning disabilities because their class isn’t graded? Of course not. Gifted education is just part of special education. Students need to be recognized and respected for their academic abilities. Every student in school should have fun in every class. Every student should be learning someting new everyday.
