Identifying+gifted+students

​Identifying gifted students It is important that many people and many processes are used in identifying students who are gifted. For schools to provide effective educational experiences for gifted students, appropriate and accurate identification is essential. The following principles should guide the process of identification:
 * Identification should be a shared responsibility between parents, teachers, students and other professionals.
 * Early identification is important to help prevent underachievement.
 * Identification is an ongoing process
 * Identification needs to be inclusive of all students. Students from disadvantaged and minority groups must be considered. They may be:

· Students from non-English speaking backgrounds · Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students · Students disadvantaged by gender · Students from low socioeconomic groups · Students with physical/sensory disabilities · Students with specific learning difficulties · Students with behavioural problems · Identification needs to take into consideration the underachiever. Some gifted children freely express their abilities, whilst many do not. Research indicates most Gifted and Talented students underachieve. (Bathurst CEO G&T Policy)
