Gifted and talented individuals possess the attributes and abilities to enrich their own lives
and to make a valuable contribution to the knowledge society. This potential can be
maximized by the provision of a tailored program of learning which provides the scope and
balance that gifted students crave.
There is a perception that gifted students will achieve regardless of the educational provision
because of their innate abilities. This is not the case. International research points to the tragic
loss of potential which results from failure to engage gifted students during the early years.
For teachers, the challenge is to accurately identify all gifted students, provide differentiated
programs which meet their diverse needs and continually evaluate the process. Efficient
streamlined documentation eases the task providing differentiation programs.
The purpose of this book is to support the first three books in this Gifted Learners series. It
contains the templates which assist teachers in creating, monitoring and evaluating educational
provision for their gifted and talented students. It also contains templates which can be used to
effectively support your school-wide Gifted Education program.
