education system. The gifted student knows how to solve problems
and think beyond the solution. The gifted mind is constantly working
like a machine outputting high-order questions and curiosities.
If all students were considered gifted based on talent, then all
students would need to be educated on an individualized basis
because there are a widespread of talents. However, since a small
percentage of students are considered intellectually gifted, these
students should be grouped together based on their academic
strengths and then challenged at the appropriate level. I envision a
gifted class to have more if not all project based learning (PBL) taking
place because this type of environment would nourish the gifted childs
creativity by allowing them to constantly think creatively and critically.
Regardless if a student is gifted talentedly or intellectually, a
more personalized learning environment is needed to educate such
students effectively.
