Can you recognize and tell the difference between gifted and
talented children? Do you know how to provide the support they
need? Responding directly to current thinking in education, this
book raises practitioners' expectations, and shows you how to
identify children in your class as gifted and talented. Christine
Macintyre addresses the nature/nurture debate in relation to gifted
and talented children, and discusses related topics such as the
norms of development and domains of learning. Essential reading for
all primary teachers and teaching assistants, this fascinating book
is full of practical suggestions enabling you to: recognise the
innate nature of giftedness provide the teaching required for
talent to emerge understand the experiences of gifted and talented
children develop activities to challenge and encourage your gifted
and talented children to widen their repertoire of skills and
abilities A chapter on neurological development is included to
confront questions such as "what is it that enables children to do
well", and even "Is there a gene for genius?" Contrasting and
conflicting answers are shared and debated. Finally, the issue of
gifted and talented children with a learning difference/disability
is raised and examples are given of how this ASD (asynchronous
development) can hinder the recognition of gifts and talents in
these children.
