The black squares are blocked of students videos. This is to protect the students. I will provide the dialog at a later time.
ReplyDelete In their frequently referenced article, “Profiles of the Gifted and Talented,” educators George T. Betts and Maureen Neihart, combine observations, interviews, and literature reviews to develop six theoretical profiles of gifted and talented students. They state that gifted students vary greatly in terms of behavior, feelings, and needs and should not be perceived as one group characterized by one set of descriptors. Below is Betts and Neiharts’ varied list of gifted and talented profiles.
ReplyDelete1. The Successful: - the majority of identified gifted students
- successful in school
- popular with teachers
- extrinsically motivated and dependent
2. The Challenging - divergently gifted
- creative
- nonconformists who question teachers
- not as frequently identified as “gifted;”
- have lower self-esteem
3. The Underground - underachievers
- too often female
- resist identification as “gifted”
- identify with “non-gifted” peers
- need alternatives and support
4. The Dropouts - angry and depressed
- perceive school as irrelevant
- pursue outside interests
- need counseling
5. The Double-Labeled (most commonly referred to today as Twice-Exceptional)
- less-often identified
- physically or emotionally handicapped
- view weaknesses rather than gifts a priority
- need challenging academic experiences
6. The Autonomous - self confident and enthusiastic
- successful in school
- popular with teachers
- intrinsically motivated and independent
- risk takers
