Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: Identifying Gifted Students Who are Special Ed. Mr. Tyson has just become the gifted program coordinator. He is aware that students are pre-screened by their classroom teachers and recommended to him for further screening. Mr. Tyson has created a gifted characteristics spreadsheet for the teachers to use to identify gifted characteristics in the classroom. Many teachers are convinced that because they are working with students who are classified special ed, they could not be considered gifted or twice exceptional. What can Mr. Tyson do to help break those stereotypes that don't allow students to be properly identified as gifted. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Maybe they could have a separate screening for twice exceptional students to show teachers that students can be gifted and SPED. Mr. Tyson can work especially with those teachers who have SPED students to help them identify gifted characteristics within the students.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: This solution can be implemented so that all students have fair assessments regardless of teacher bias. If the students are screened separately then teacher opinion is less of a factor than actual test results. Rated On: October 19, 2014 11:02 pm Rated By: WeGuQy
