    I am conducting research on children who are identified as Gifted and Talented. The research involves completing 2 short surveys on the characteristics of children who have been identified as GT; one on children who are identified as GT and one on a typical child who is not GT. I will pay teachers who participate in this research. For additional in...See More
    I have been asked to set up an after-school enrichment program. I don't know where to begin! I teach in a parochial school and we do not have a GATE program. I was looking at some kind of creative problem solving or something like that...like Odyssey of the Mind, but really will only meet with the kids once per week. That doesn't feel like the righ...See More

    Jayne I had a creative thinking club. It was nice because so many things can fall under that category. Sometimes we did brain teasers, played games, did crafts. We made our own Nim games by putting stickers on bottle caps. Then we looked for strategies on how to always win. Made our own mancala games with egg cartons and fava beans, pennies, rocks and ag...See More

    I am a retired K teacher. My principal has asked me to take a one day a week position teaching gifted children. I'll be working with grades 2 and 3 for half the day and grades 4 and 5 for the other half day. There are no curriculum guides or materials. Any suggestions would be SO appreciated! Thanks! Isabell

    shanzy I taught the invention unit to a combined grade 4-6, so the ages ranged from 9 to 11. It is still amazing to me some of the ideas the students came up with. One of my youngest students came up with a specialized 'Pull Cart' to assist individuals who do not have use of both of their arms. It was absolutely wonderful!

    Shanzy GT Teacher - Thank you very much for taking the time to respond. I like the idea of rating as well as the idea of posting the top three marks. I have several students who are twice exceptional (Severe LD and Asbergers). I have found a great webquest that I am adapting to incorporate Web 2.0 tools. I also have decided to have the students 'become' t...See More

    I would really appreciate any suggestions for web sites for gifted students grades 2 through 5. I will be working with grades 2 and 3 for one 1/2 day each week and grades 4 and 5 for the other 1/2 day each week. (150 minutes per week for each group) Thanks so much! Isabell

    Isabell Thanks so much! That is a great web site. I'm hoping I'm able to install Java at school so I can use it with my students. Please let me know if you have any others! Isabell

    How is "gifted" designation determined at your school, especially at the primary level. Is a test used and is there a program in place? Can a class arbitrarily be labeled "gifted"?

    It's determined by testing - usually here the Stanford Binet. There is a pullout program in place.

    I will be using the GEMS Mystery Festival (Felix mystery) with 4th and 5th graders. I'm wondering about including 3rd graders. Has anyone used it with 3rd graders? If so, was it age-appropriate? I looked at the mystery for lower grades, but it does seem too juvenile. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

    deanie I have done the Mystery Festival two times. I would not do it with 3rd graders because of the experiments and the murder aspects. I did lots of other things with the Festival, too, that were higher level so I kept it with 4-6th. Have fun!

    Help! I cannot find my Appenices for scoring the old MAT (1985)Naglieri test. I tested one student, but don't have the Appendix to find the percentile. Does anyone have an Appendix for the old MAT (1985)? I can't get a new one because it is too old. Please Email me directly. Thanks so much, MP [email removed]

    I received a brochure from ber.org. Are their educational speakers any good, particularly Richard M. Cash, Ed.D. speaking on differentiation?
