Gifted/Talented and Attention Deficit Disorder (updated April 2000) The ERIC Clearinghouse on Disabilities and Gifted Education (ERIC EC) The Council for Exceptional Children 1110 N. Glebe Rd. Arlington, VA 22201-5704 Toll Free: 1.800.328.0272 E-mail: ericec@cec.sped.org Internet: http://ericec.org I think my child is gifted. My child's teacher says he might have an attention deficit disorder. Is this possible? Where can I get information on children who are gifted and might have an attention deficit disorder? During the past five years, an increasing number of gifted children have been identified or diagnosed as having attention deficit disorder, with or without hyperactivity. This dramatic increase is somewhat disturbing, and has been explained in many different ways including greater awareness on the part of educational professionals and improved diagnostic techniques. However, ADD in gifted students is difficult to assess because so many of the behavioral characteristics are similar to those associated with giftedness or creativity. A child who is gifted may have ADD. Without a thorough professional evaluation, including a physical examination by a physician, it is hard to tell. Following are links to related ERIC Digests, Internet resources, and Internet discussion groups, as well as selected citations from the ERIC database and the search terms we used to find the citations.

The State of Iowa Talented and Gifted (TAG) ENDORSEMENT... Put it all together at the Belin-Blank Center The University of Iowa Q: I'm already certified to teach; why do I need a separate endorsement to work with gifted students? A: Certification reflects the license issued by the state allowing graduates to teach. The type of certification defines the kind of responsibility the teacher can have in the classroom. Endorsements identify what an individual can teach as well as the grade level(s). In 1992, the State of Iowa approved the requirements for a pre-K through 12 Talented and Gifted (TAG) Endorsement for anyone designated as a teacher and/or coordinator of programs for the gifted. The TAG Endorsement allows teachers to work with gifted students of any age even if their certification is for a specific age group. The TAG Endorsement provides educators with the essential tools to promote the talents and well-being of gifted students. Research has shown that outstanding teachers of the gifted are familiar with different learning styles, understand the developmental nature and needs of gifted children, and understand current theory and knowledge about gifted education Gifted Child Quarterly Q: What are the state requirements for the TAG Endorsement?

They are always comparing themselves to others, and they often see themselves as coming up short. As parents, we can offset this natural tendency in our children by giving them the skills to think more positively. We need to arm our children with a positive attitude, so that they can stay focused in the right direction. We'll look at some typical negative statements from children, along with some positive responses from their wise parents.

FREE recipes desserts crafts health ideas ... Search What about"talented & gifted kids"? Quick Support Sign Up A common thread in homeschooling is that sometimes your child doesn't fit neatly into the system. This can be especially true for "talented and gifted" (TAG) kids Homeschooling can be a wonderful way for gifted kids to advance at a pace that is more comfortable to them. It also tends to keep "idle hands" from getting into trouble with the slow pace that might occur in a traditional education. We have developed a resource for TAG which you can see at Talented and Gifted Group and we have a support group and additional resources that you can use there. Comments "Homeschooling can be best for a gifted child" From: Linda Drake We have a son who is homeschooled. He was in kindergarten last year. He read at a sixth grade level according to Standford testing in April (we gave him a second grade test). I just couldn't see him spending a year in first grade doing phonic charts and being bored to death. We couldn't arrange anything for him at school. We wanted to put him in second grade in a split 1st/2nd grade classroom but didn't get any support for that. I had been interested in homeschooling before, but this really helped us make that decision. I think homeschooling can be the best for a gifted child. My son is in second grade now and not having a bit of trouble with any subject. He has a relaxed atmosphere to learn in and has plenty of time to read and follow some of his own interests. The daily work in his subject areas can be done either quickly (in about two hours) if he wants to get done and do some of his own things or take much longer if he doesn't get settled down to work. I like the fact that he has time in a day to do computer programs, make the little art projects he is always dreaming up, and that he doesn't spend 15 hours a week on the school bus (which is what he would have to do if he rode our bus!!)

Your son won't do what he must do. He drives me crazy, yes it's true! He will stall and squirm and hum, and leave all of his work undone. He dreams and will not pay attention, have you considered medication? With other kids he does not play, he is alone much of the day. Something does not seem quite right, because I know he must be bright. He seems to learn, despite the rest, but the work is not his best. He is disruptive, yes it's true. He just won't do what he must do! Yes, teacher, I can really see, how frustrating all this must be, A child who does not meet the norm, a child whose mold won't fit the form. I've had him tested on WISC-III, by your approved test agency. He scores far higher than the mean, there's more to this that can be seen. So help us, help us find the way, to teach this child best if we may. He is not like the rest you see, he acts and thinks far differently.

Nurturing Great Minds Teaching gifted and talented children in the regular classroom by Leah Jacobs Contents FEATURE: Nurturing Great Minds Teaching the gifted and talented Recognizing a gifted child I t's obvious why "developmentally challenged" kids need special help. But many teachers wonder, "What's the point in making a special effort with the gifted and talented? Aren't these smarter-than-average students going to be just fine on their own?" The answer from virtually all experts in gifted and talented education is a resounding no. Some gifted and talented students may learn faster, get better grades, and work more independently than the rest of their classmates. But sometimes gifted and talented students are the ones with low grades, who seem bored and restless in school, and who refuse to take their work seriously or even do it at all. Kids who appear lazy or badly behaved may actually be pining for challenges, some activity that lets them stretch their mental muscles or express their special talents. And even well-behaved gifted children deserve work that truly allows them to learn and grow. "Oh, sure," you may be thinking. "I barely have time to get through the regular curriculum, let alone to help the kids who are really floundering! I'd love to offer more challenges to my gifted students but there are only so many hours in the day!"

Text Only Contacts FAQs A-Z Index ... Search Structured Tinkering: Improving Provision for the Gifted in Ordinary Schools Summer School Outreach Programme Student forum News ... Contact Details Author: Professor Deborah Eyre Abstract Structured tinkering is a systematic approach to the modification of the basic school curriculum to meet the needs of gifted and talented pupils. The approach builds on curriculum planning techniques and classroom differentiation techniques, and encourages individual teachers to determine the areas and methodologies for curriculum improvement. It foregrounds the role of the teacher and provides them with the skills to engage in critical reflection and systematic data collection so as to make informed choices on behalf of their class or department. This paper explores the rationale for the development of such an approach, gives details of its methodology and highlights some of its outcomes. Introduction Historically England's approach to the nurturing of ability and talent in schools has been somewhat ambiguous. Pupils in English schools are encouraged to strive to achieve highly, to make the most of their school-based opportunities, and to aim for a university education However, relatively little consideration has been given to how those with the potential to achieve highly might be supported during their education - traditionally, the needs of the gifted have not been an educational priority in England. Indeed, as in all egalitarian societies, the English have always had a certain ambivalence when it comes to the gifted.

Gouging the gifted? Talented students often play second fiddle The Capital Times January 23, 1999 Reprinted with permission By Jason Shepard Correspondent for The Capital Times Some of the most gifted students in Dane County are not getting enough support in school despite attempts in many area districts to boost educational programs aimed at helping them learn more. That's the consensus of a half dozen Dane County educators in charge of programs for talented and gifted students. They say schools have a moral and legal obligation to give students the best education they can and that includes challenging the brightest kids, who may be bored with the curriculum in their class. In Wisconsin, state law mandates that schools have a talented and gifted program. But unlike mandates regarding students with disabilities and learning problems, the law gives school districts the option of coming up with money to fund TAG programs. At a time when money for education is stretched to the limit, finding a school district with a strong financial commitment to TAG students is difficult. Statistics from the state Department of Public Instruction for the 1997-98 school year show that spending in school districts statewide for talented and gifted instruction totaled 0.6 percent of district budgets, while spending for special education instruction totaled 16.79 percent.
