Students who are gifted and/or talented are known more for their contributions and potential contributions than any other group of students.

  • Cognitive, academic, communicational, physical, and behavioral characteristics that are associated with high-ability learners
  • Effective instructional approaches and activities to keep gifted and talented students motivated and reaching ever-higher levels of achievement
  • Key vocabulary terms
