Book excerpt: Gifted students spend the majority of their day in general education mixed ability classrooms. However, many students have already mastered portions if not all of the curriculum. Unintended results of enactments such as No Child Left Behind (NCLB), have placed a focus on struggling students. The purpose of this study was to explore teacher and parent perceptions of an academically gifted program at two schools in a growing district at the eastern end of the greater Triangle region in North Carolina. The research focused on four questions: (a) How do parents of students identified as academically gifted perceive the way differentiated curriculum is currently being delivered; (b) How do teachers of students identified as academically gifted perceive the way differentiated curriculum is currently being delivered; (c) What outcomes would parents like to see as a result of their students participating in an elementary academically gifted program; and (d) What would teachers like to see provided in order to meet the academic needs of students identified as gifted? This study was qualitative in nature and data collection included survey and interview sessions. The results of the study indicated that enhancing the parent information practices for gifted students, implementing an early intervention program for higher performing students, designing effective professional development, and personalized learning would be beneficial for the gifted program. Without ensuring that gifted students receive a challenging curriculum the, concept of gifted underachievement will become a normalcy.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study examined the perceptions of parents and teachers regarding the effectiveness of gifted programs in addressing the academic and social-emotional needs of gifted students. Utilizing online surveys, perceptual data was collected from parents and teachers of gifted students in a suburban school district in southeast Pennsylvania. Interviews were conducted with parents and teachers to obtain personal views and perspectives concerning the effectiveness of gifted programs and services. The study concluded that parents favor advanced placement courses, grade-level acceleration, and small group pull-out services. Parents expressed confidence in programs intended to support their children's social-emotional development, but noted that academic programs appeared to be valued over social-emotional services. Parents recommended increasing the priority of social-emotional aspects of the gifted program. They suggested a disproportionate number of programs exist to aid students with learning disabilities versus those intended for gifted students. Parents recommended improving equity within student support service options. Parents also expressed satisfaction with pull-out style enrichment and acceleration, but proposed longer and more frequent interactions between gifted students and gifted support staff. Teachers expressed positive perceptions of the effectiveness of gifted academic programs. They reported high levels of instructional self-efficacy, but a perceived lack of school policy guiding enrichment and acceleration strategies. Teachers further indicated positive perceptions of current social-emotional programing, but a limited number of training opportunities designed to support them with gifted education. Participants recommended more gifted training opportunities and an increase in staffing to improve the overall effectiveness of gifted programs.

Book excerpt: There is little current research in reading instruction for gifted learners. Children who are identified as gifted in reading are often left to their own devices or provided inadequate reading/literacy instruction (Ries et al., 2004). The purpose of this project was to determine how parents of gifted children and gifted students perceived the children's learning-to-read process, their early school reading experiences, their current school reading experiences, and changes parents and children would like to made to current reading instruction methods. Participants were recruited from various programs including summer enrichment programs for gifted youth ages 8 to 14 years old. Two hundred twenty-two parent-child dyads responded to a mixed-methods internet survey. Results from the quantitative data showed that the children in this study were exhibiting pre-reading and reading skills much younger than previously reported in the literature. In this study, the mean age at which children were able to associate letter sound with letter shape was 23.8 months of age. This skill is not typically achieved until children are between 36 and 48 months of age. Additionally, although 63% of participants responded their child was reading picture books independently between 24 and 60 months of age, 21.9 % of participants responded their child was reading picture books independently before the child was 24 months old and 7.8% of participants responded their child was reading picture books independently before the child's first birthday, a skill typical of late kindergarten or early first grade, between the ages of 66 and 72 months. Qualitative results revealed that many parent participants did not feel their children were getting challenged enough in reading at school. Some parents chose to remove their children from the formal school setting and home school as a result. Parents also advocated for their children, trying to ensure appropriate reading instruction, but not always successfully. Student participants indicated they prefer to be in classes with like-ability peers, choose their own books and projects, and have more time in school for reading books they select. Implications for future research indicate a need to examine university teacher preparation courses in reading methods, how to change current reading curriculum delivery to gifted learners, and improvement in parent/teacher relationships to create more collaborative partnerships in educating gifted learners.

Book excerpt: Seeking a more comprehensive vision for gifted education, this book offers a modern vision of programs and services for gifted and talented students. Beyond Gifted Education: Designing and Implementing Advanced Academic Programs provides the first comprehensive look at designing and implementing advanced academic student programs. Written by four leading experts in the field, Beyond Gifted Education reviews the current range of traditional gifted education practices and policies. Then, the book offers the concerned gifted program coordinator or school administrator a more expansive approach to educating gifted learners. The authors lead readers through the process of identifying needs, responding with programming, and then finding students who are well-suited for and would benefit from advanced academic programming. Detailed examples walk the reader through real-world scenarios and programs common to the gifted coordinator on topics such as cluster grouping, acceleration, and increasing diversity. Throughout the book, connections are made to Common Core State Standards, Response to Intervention, and a wealth of outside research in order to support ideas.

Download or read book Understanding Giftedness written by Maria Assunta Zanetti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concise, accessible guide explores the different models behind the concept of giftedness, examining the criteria for evaluating and identifying gifted children, in order to provide a deeper understanding of the lives of children and young people with high cognitive potential. It offers practical advice to parents and teachers, highlighting common queries and misconceptions and presenting evidence-based suggestions for management methods. Key topics covered include the difference between being gifted and talented, how to identify a gifted child, neurological differences between gifted children and their peers, dealing with perfectionism, and the best ways to parent and teach a gifted child. Avoiding prescriptive rules, the authors emphasise the importance of knowing and understanding the individual child whilst utilising research around giftedness to promote the best possible outcomes. Illustrated with case studies of student and teacher perspectives, the book offers an inclusive perspective and practical strategies, whereby the development of individual potential is viewed not only as a way to promote the psychological well-being of the individual but also as an opportunity and benefit for society. Understanding Giftedness is essential reading for parents and caregivers, as well as practitioners in clinical and educational psychology, counselling, mental health, nursing, child welfare, public healthcare and those in education who want to help young people develop their talents and achieve their full potential.

Book excerpt: In contradictory ways, parents say they would prefer to enroll their children in diverse schools that have strong educational programs. But, for most of these advantaged parents, having their children enrolled in a program with other students "like them" in terms of their social status and privilege and thus being associated with other parents "like them" was the most important factor, superseding all other desires, including "diversity." They continue to make choices that privilege their children and perpetuate the status quo. Therefore, studying the contradictions that result from their school choices in a highly segregated system can tell us important information about why social conditions change or get reproduced and how policies could be altered to create fewer distinctions between schools and programs.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this qualitative study, I consider the effect of gifted identification on preadolescents by studying participants' experiences subsequent to the labeling process. Parent and child perceptions of these experiences are discussed. Six students identified as gifted, and recently enrolled in full time gifted programs, and their parents, took part in this case study focusing on the children's emotional, social, and academic functioning. Questionnaires were distributed to participants, and individual interviews were conducted. Although the children's experiences varied greatly, the analysis suggests there are some pockets of concern. The conceptual groupings pertaining to gifted labeling and placement that are identified and studied are (a) emotional impact (including positive and negative aspects, and the sense of self), (b) social impact, (c) academic impact, and (d) individual differences and developmental diversity. The implications of the children's experiences suggest a need for counseling and educational support systems, and a number of considerations are discussed. As a result, several practical measures for facilitating the optimal development of gifted learners are presented, including a conceptual framework for a university-based resource centre for gifted development and education.
