So I'm not trying to say that that gifted people are neurotic or have all sorts of
emotional problems, but I do believe um they leave more satisfying lives and more self actuated lives if they understand their abilities and accept challenges that are appropriate for them.
That's an excellent question and it can't be met by a single answer.
I can speak primarily about what I've learned about the educational system here in the United States.
But as I said, I've been talking to people around the world this last two years and it's repeated in many places around the world.
We are not good id at identifying gifted learners.
And the amount of effort and energy put into identifying and programming for gifted learners varies based on what the laws are, what the statutes are, what funding is available, what training is available for teachers, and what information is given to parents.
And that's varies so much.
that it's hard to say one steadfast rule.
Ideally, gifted kids would be identified by their school district.
Most often that is based on either achievement test scores or ability test scores, IQ test scores is the first indicator.
By basing our identification of gifted kids primarily on those two types of test scores, we miss a whole lot of kids who either don't test well or don't do well on those kind of tests or aren't even considered for testing in those areas.
And um and I we we could spend the whole program on identification.
And for that.
But I think one of the best ways to help our students self-identify is to help them understand their own learner profile, to reflect on the ways in which they are similar, but then the ways they're different from the learners around them.
And then also to help them reflect on, are your needs being met?
Do you feel challenged?
Are you exploring things that you're interested in?
Um, do you have time to spend with
Other children who are smart or maybe smarter than you that challenge your thinking, and you have the people around you who understand you and can support your learning needs.
