Common Myths in Gifted Education |
For years, many educators
and the public have had distorted perceptions of what gifted
students are able to do and what they need in the classroom.
This has contributed to a widening achievement gap between
high ability children from low socio-economic areas and
those from higher socio-economic areas.
|
"Achievement
gaps among high-ability students from different
economic, racial, and linguistic backgrounds are
large and growing."
Ann
Robinson, Pres. NAGC
