Case: Higher Level Learners
Mrs. Smith has a class of gifted/advanced students as well as a class of advanced/regular ed students. Mrs. Smith has a hard time "challenging" the higher level learners in the advanced and gifted classes. She establishes high expectations and requires more effort from students in those classes, however the gifted students do not refer to her class as a challenging one. What are some suggestions for Mrs. Smith?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Through working with gifted students, I have discovered that they flourish from project based activities. The problem all to often is that they get bored because they master the content easily. Develop activities that require the students to think critically and develop products. Students often feel accomplished when they are creating or developing artifacts to present in the classroom. |

Comments: Absolutely. More assignments, or even more "challenging" reading and writing assignments aren't enough. I was a gifted student in school, and I knew what was busywork, and I knew it was given to me to fill in time or to "challenge" me. It bored me. I rose to the challenge and often exceeded expectations on projects that allowed me to explore my own interests and create something unique. Go beyond the content (as said in the solution, the content is easily mastered) and let the students apply the content in their own way to the real world. THIS is what gifted students enjoy. |
