Description
Summary:Giftedness is a complex phenomenon impacting the development of the whole child. Many specialists must work together to address the diverse academic, social and emotional aspects of the development of children with gifts and talents. It is imperative that educators in gifted, general, special education programs, and related professional services collaborate with one another and with parents/guardians and community members to ensure that students are properly identified for services to address their diverse advanced learning needs. The National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) believes collaboration should be part of a continuum of services provided from Pre-K through high school to meet the unique educational needs of gifted students. Examples of collaborative strategies that might be used to enhance the learning of students with gifts and talents are provided.
