Gifted Children | Instant Homework Solutions

Gifted children are those who display extremely high cognitive, academic and/ or performance achievement skills. A child who is gifted may be identified in these areas: high general intellect, creativity, leadership, visual and performing arts, and/ or, emotional and social characteristics.  Children who are identified will also receive some form of differentiated instruction plan as required under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Some school districts may call this an Individual Education Plan. (This education plan is not to be confused with IEP’s mandated by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA).)  Please visit the link below and answer then answer the following questions: Based on your reading, what means do school districts use to help identify gifted children?
