    Gifted students are often well beyond their years when it comes to their ability, however they are not always mature enough to handle the assignments that go along with that ability. This brings about a problem of accommodating these students with sufficient enrichment or acceleration without using subjects that are too mature for their mental age. Gifted students can learn the same standards, themes, units and concepts as the rest of the class. They will just be allowed regular opportunities to become engaged with learning activities that require more depth and complexity. One way to accommodate a gifted learner in a chronological age-based assignment organization is through the use of extension activities that will provide more challenge. Extension activities can be created and used in a variety of ways. Curriculum Differentiation Charts can be made to address the different learning styles of the students while addressing the key concepts of the unit or theme being studied. Extension Menus can be made that offer different activities through the different levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy of Thinking. Students can also be provided with the opportunity to create a learning center. This would involve giving the students some parameters and guidelines for how to create the center and what needs to be included. When grading these activities and assignments it would be helpful to create a rubric that would be shown to the students before they begin the assignment so that they understand the criteria for which they are being assessed.…

    “The human history of the Yellowstone region goes back more than 11,000 years. From then until to the very recent past, many groups of Native Americans used the park as their homes, hunting grounds, and transportation routes. These traditional uses of Yellowstone lands continued until a little over 200 years ago when the first people of European descent found their way into the park. In 1872 a country that had not yet seen its first centennial, established Yellowstone as the first national park in the world. A new concept was born and with it a new way for people to preserve and protect the best of what they had for the benefit and enjoyment of future generations.” ("Yellowstone National Park Service", 2013) In the following paragraphs, the author will discuss the major structural and functional dynamics (processes) of that ecosystem including change over time, also, how humans may have affected biogeochemical cycles in that ecosystem, including impacts to the nitrogen, phosphorus, or carbon cycle. The author will also discuss how knowledge about that ecosystem’s structure and function can help or has helped to develop plans for its management and restoration plus the implication of species interactions in ecosystem management and restoration.…

    No period of time passes without leaving its mark on human history. It is uncommon, though, for a decade to be as transformative on a society as the 1970s – and closely related events in the 1960s and 1980s – were on the United States. The Vietnam war and the counterculture’s response reached their zenith. Environmentalism as a sociopolitical force found new and much stronger footing. The mobile phone and microprocessor, the foundations of large-scale modern telecommunications, were invented.…

    Generally when we talk of individuals with disabilities, the very core or center of concern always falls on individuals with developmentally disorders, physically handicapped, emotionally disorders. We tend to miss out the individuals who are born as “gifted”. Well for us, as the title says (gifted), being born gifted is more of a blessing than the other way around. But the truth of the matter is, it is not as easy as it may seem to be. If individuals with different kinds of disorders have special needs, so do gifted individuals. It may just be in a different manner, in a dissimilar kind and in a more diverse situation but there still is a special need and this is also need to be properly addressed in the same manner as with the other disabilities.…

    In this novel a young girl named Susie Salmon was brutally raped and killed by a man in her neighbourhood. Her case is still an ongoing investigation but little to no proof leads towards the man who committed the crime. Lindsey, Susie’s little sister, is a very talented and intelligent girl. She was invited to attend the Gifted Symposium for her intelligence. Lindsey goes away to this symposium with other students in junior and high school. At the very end of the symposium, the students are given a challenge, normally it's to create the best mouse trap, but they changed it up this year. The new challenge was how to commit the perfect murder. I think the Gifted Symposium was wrong by initiating a How to commit the perfect murder challenge, because it’s a touchy subject.…

    My field study was conducted at the Talented and Gifted School for Young Scholars (T.A.G.) Middle School located in the East Harlem section of Manhattan. T.A.G. is a selective public school, governed by the NYC Department of Education. It was founded in 1989 as a magnet program within the school system’s District 4, and became an independent K-8 gifted and talented school in 2004. T.A.G. is one of only three gifted and talented programs in New York City. It serves students identified with gifted abilities in grades K-8. Children are admitted to kindergarten through 2nd grade based on their scores on two tests, the Otis-Lennon School Abilities Test (OLSAT) and the Bracken School Readiness Assessment (BSRA). Children whose scores put them in the 97th percentile nationally are eligible. There are a handful of seats open in the upper grades. Middle school admission is based on grades, standardized test scores and teacher recommendations. There are approximately 500 students comprised mainly of African-American, Hispanic, and Middle Eastern backgrounds, reportedly only 2% of the student body is Caucasian. Each grade level has two classes of up to 25 students each. The school is located in a building that houses four other mini schools, a common practice in schools these days. For instance the high school I attended has been divided into five different high schools.…
