Identifying, Describing, and Developing Teachers Who Are Gifted and Talented

Much of the research about teachers focuses on “those who can’t/don’t/aren’t good” in the classroom. However, teachers who are gifted and talented exist, but there has been little attention to date on the characteristics and practices of such teachers in the classroom. While few, the examples of research on positive teacher attributes include work on the “expert,” “authentic,” and “creative,” as well as examples of research on eminent adults. Identifying, Describing, and Developing Teachers Who Are Gifted and Talented is an essential reference source that discusses behaviors and traits in teachers who are considered gifted and talented as well as case studies on the identification and preparation of teachers who fall into this category. Featuring research on topics such as creative innovation, emotional intelligence, and skill development, this book is ideally designed for educators, administrators, researchers, and academicians.

Gifted

Sometimes brains aren't everything. George R. Clark is gifted. Mentally, he's light-years ahead of his classmates. His parents worship him, and his teachers adore him. But socially, George is at the bottom of the curve. Most of his classmates avoid him-if he's lucky. Until the Bruise Brothers, the intellectually challenged members of the school football team, decide they want George to pass a test of their own design. Only the fact that George's father is the school principal has saved him in the past. But his father isn't going on the eighth grade science field trip, and George has a feeling it's going to be open season on dorks. Suddenly thrown into a crash course on human nature, without his father to protect him, the most intellectually gifted kid in the eighth-grade might actually learn something before the end of the trip . . . if he survives it.

Education of Gifted Children

"During the last few years the results of tests and measurement in the public schools have brought into relief a great variety of educational problems which had previously been overlooked or the importance of which had been insufficiently appreciated. Among these is the problem of the gifted child. Although experimental studies in the education of defectives have been made from time to time for almost a century, it was not until the results of intelligence tests began to come in, a decade ago, that the need of special educational provision for children of exceptional ability began to be recognized. One reason for the general neglect of this field of pedagogy has been the widespread belief that the apparently gifted child is merely precocious, and usually pathologically so. However, recent experimental studies have shown conclusively that this belief has little or no foundation in fact. All the scientific evidence at hand points to the conclusion that gifted children are superior to unselected children in physical and non-intellectual mental traits as well as in intelligence, and that they carry this advantage into adult life. We are coming to recognize that from their ranks, and from nowhere else, our geniuses in every line are recruited. Instead of working upon the "wonder child" as an individual to be pitied because of his supposed abnormality, and to be shielded from intellectual stimulation for fear of injury to his delicate nervous structure, we are beginning to see the problem in an entirely different light. The education of the gifted child has adopted a positive rather than a negative aim. We wish to know what educational methods will enable us to make the most of the superior raw material afforded by our gifted group; it is no longer a question of how best to defend a special type of pathologically tainted individuals from an imminent and unhappy fate. At the present time there are in progress scores if not hundreds of experiments in the training of gifted children. Unfortunately, few of these have been under way any considerable length of time and fewer still have been adequately reported. We are learning a great deal about the mental and physical traits of such children, but we still know very little as to the most effective methods of training them. The editor believes that Miss Stedman's rather detailed account of the methods she has found most useful in her five years of experience with such children is an important educational contribution. It should be of interest not only to teachers of similar classes, but to educators generally and to parents; for it is by no means improbable that the educational methods best adapted to gifted children will be found to have wide applicability in the training of all children. Normal pedagogy has certainly benefited from the pedagogy of defectives; it has far more to learn from the pedagogy of the gifted"--Introduction.

Among these is the problem of the gifted child.
