Well, way back to Terman.
So we're talking about seventy, eighty years we have used the term gifted.
So it's a great term.
There's nothing wrong with it.
Here in Wisconsin, a lot of people have decided they're going to call them able learners.
Or advanced learners.
Neither one of those, however, describe all gifted kids.
Not all gifted kids are advanced learners.
or necessarily even able learners, depending upon the context.
And and I also think that many of our euphemisms leave out what we know about gifted children in general, the overexcitabilities, the intensities, um, the creativeness.
They're I mean, there are just gifted individuals are so complicated that by just just saying that they're high achievers or whatever, does them an injustice.
So when I work with the kids I say I'm gonna use the term gifted and they may use lots of different terms in your school or not talk about it at all, but I've got really good reasons for just going ahead and using the G word.
And once again, if you your listeners have never read the poem, the G word, again by Jim Delisle, you'll find it online and it's almost Dr.
Seuss like, but it's it really is a good explanation of why many of us just go ahead and use the word rather than stumble around with it.
Um, so the second step that I work with kids on in self advocacy, as I said is
is assessing and reflecting on their own individual learner profile.
And I use the five areas of the learner profile that Karen Rogers described in her book Reforming Gifted Education.
matching the program to the child.
Um, I know you can find copies of it online.
It it's an older book.
