[quote=Anonymous]I have to agree with 12:42, this really is not about gifted but advanced learners. I think it could be done at the elementary level by lettting go of things like whole class novels and instead by focusing on having a range of assignments. My sense of teachers in DC is that they don't know how to push a kid up to the next level often because they have no experience with expectations in upper grades. I wish there were more collaboration so these kids did have more challenges. That said maybe we are just too focused on smart and not on hard work, this piece on NPR this morning was something I had heard before but still thought provoking. http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2012/11/12/164793058/struggle-for-smarts-how-eastern-and-western-cultures-tackle-learning [/quote]
