MYTHS AND TRUTHS GIFTED AND TALENTED STUDENTS WILL ALWAYS DO WELL WHATEVER THE CIRCUMSTANCES THEY MAY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS LIKE ANY OTHER STUDENTS WHICH THEY CAN HIDE WHEN THE WORK IS EASY. LATER THE PROBLEMS CAN LEAD TO BEHAVIOURAL PROBLEMS AND DEPRESSIONS GIFTED AND TALENTED ARE SO CLEVER THEY CAN DO WITH OR WITHOUT SPECIAL EDUCATION VERY WELL THEY CAN DO WELL ON THEIR OWN BUT WITHOUT CHALLENGE THEY BECOME BORED AND DISRUPTIVE. LATER WHEN THE WORK BECOMES HARDER AND HARDER THEY CANNOT DEAL WITH IT
MYTHS HIGH ABILITY IS SOMETHING OF WHICH TO BE JEALOUS TRUTHS GIFTED CAN FEEL ISOLATED AND MISUNDERSTOOD THEY HAVE MORE ADULTS TASTE IN MUSIC, CLOTHES, READING, FOOD THEY NEED TO GO THROUGH SCHOOL LEARNING WITH THEIR OWN AGE GROUP SOCIALLY THEY NEED OTHER CHILDREN TO PLAY AND INTERACT BUT PUTTING A TALENTED CHILD WHO CAN READ SINCE HE IS TWO WITH OTHERS WHO START READING IS DEMOTIVATING
Motto: School is responsible for providing environment which encourages all students to develope their potential and display some forms of exceptional ability and talents.
No Child Left Behind high achievement capability in areas such as intellectual, creative, artistic, or leadership capacity, or in specific academic fields,and who need services or activities not ordinarily provided by the school in order to develope those capabilities.
HOW TO RECOGNIZE THE GIFTED identification methods: Teacher nomination (observation, listening to them, interview) Assessment results (tests) Peer nomination Parental nomination Identification by previous teachers Self-nomination

GIFTED PUPILS NEED OUR CARE, AS MUCH AS THE POOR ONES SO WE SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON HIS / HER NEEDS AND TO FULFIL OUR INTENSIVE EDUCATIONAL WORK IN THE BEST WAY
The most important factors in teaching are the interaction with students and the knowledge and personality of the teacher
Five methods to help teachers in schools (even in our mother language saying the right thing, in the right way, at that right time is some time difficult) 1. Promoting self-regulation in learning. 2. Talking aloud. The teacher talks aloud while working through a problem so that the pupil can see the working. 3. Cognitive apprenticeship. In this the teacher demonstrates the processes that experts use to handle complex tasks, guiding the pupil via experiences..
4. Discussion. This must involve analysis of the processes of argument 5. Co-operative learning. The pupils explain their reasoning to each other. Co-operativeteaching-learning interactions in the classroom are ideal for helping pupils take the leap to higher levels of understanding. Socratic questioning. In this, the teacher uses careful questioning to force pupils to explain their thought processes and explain their arguments. The questioning is not used to teach new knowledge, but to help pupils to know and use what they already have.
SCHOOL BASED PROVISION SCHOOL BASED CLUBS SCHOOL SOCIETIES /COUNCILS FAST TRACKING GROUPS ENRICHMENT OPPORTUNITIES OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERFORMANCE COMPETITIONS, CONTESTS, TOURNAMENTS ARTISTS CLUBS SPECIALISTIC TEACHING PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER SCHOOLS /INSTITUTIONS/
Gifted pupils are those who are able to achieve a level beyond the rest of their peer group in one or more areas: general intellectual ability or talents specific academic aptitude and talents visual and performing arts and sports leadership ability creative and productive thinking mechanical ingenuity special empathy, understanding and negotiation
Every school curriculum has references to gifted pupils and their aims are: to maintain an ethos where it is acceptable to be bright to encourage all students to be idependent students to recognise achievments to be aware of the effects of bilingualism, gender, religion, and social circumstances on learning and achievment to provide a wide range of extra curricular activities and school clubs to provide work at an appropriate level to provide opportunities for all students to work with like minded peers
Gifted pupils are: individuals who like asking many different questions hard working and responsible self disciplined determinated, ambitious, tend to their aims and goals emotionaly sensitive creative, independent critical,, with own opinion they have got strong motivation are eager to work intelectual endurance
MOTIVATE EMOTIONAL EMOTIONAL RECOGNITION S CRITERIA GIVEN TO THE GIFTED / Jan Rostkowski / READING AND WRITING SKILLS PHYSICAL MOTOR FUNCTION
Gifted pupils needs. To function well those 3 spheres must be carried about: emotional / social / cognitive Problems appear when there is no balance between these 3 functions Pupil often can hear that she/he is clever and bright but rarely that she or he is loved Desire to be included and accepted in the group is strong
Accurate Support Works Miracles!!! Mainly two spheres Intellectual teachers activity, school clubs activity, individual cirrculum Emotional-social sphere psychologists activity, teachers activity, they advise how to deal with negative feelings When gifted is overworked with duties and learning, feels lack of acceptance
Gifted and talented children are those identified by professionally qualified persons who by virtue of outstanding abilities are capable of high performance. These children require differentiated educational programs and services beyond those normally provided by the regular school program in order to realize their contribution to self and society.
Effective technique -verbal encouragement to increase motivation: Increasing self-esteem for higher achievement Successful performance Emphasise the student's abilities or talents "The topic suits you". Give consistency information "You have done that right again". Give consensus information, and thus stress success "Most people have difficulties with this problem, but you did it". Unsuccessful performance Attribute it to insufficient effort "If you read that again it will soon become clear to you". Take the edge off failure by providing consensus information "Most students have difficulties with that". Give distinctiveness information "The other topic suits you better, doesn't it".
Tadeusz Lewowicki four types of teaching of the gifted Faster development. Individualization of the speed of learning suitable to individual needs needs (Acceleration) ( both the slower and faster learners are able to follow own needs) a) children at the age of 6 can attend school b) the gifted can pass the material faster one class in one term c) individualization of the material throughout the school year d) prolonged school year e) faster speed of learning influence on: the bigger motivation and ambition of the gifted who can cope with their own faster pace/ rate at last
2. The gifted should be equipped with richer and deeper knowledge- Expansion of the programme Curriculum Modifications. MORE INFORMATION AND THE RIGHT PACE REQUIRE A LOT OF EFFORT BUT IT IS A KIND OF CHALLENGE FOR THEM
3. Tasks of greater difficulty in agreement with their abilities and intelligence. a little more difficult level of tasks creates new challenge and inspire them to further work
4.The division into groups helps to: keep discipline give teachers more time for pupils let develope personal and social skills /Segregated classrooms of similar level of abilities/
Other forms of supporting gifted pupils Programmes differentiation - classes with different profiles To organize school clubs of different interests Education get outside school Sport activities (swimming, team games, skiing,ect) Speakers club presenting debates, discussions, Drama club- to show theatrical performances Helping other poor pupil in learning Film club Photo club Pottery club Bicycle rides Walking camp
