Teachers of gifted children: the essential core competencies

Year 2022, Volume: 9 Issue: 2, 219 - 225, 30.06.2022

Abstract

Teaching is an exceptionally challenging task but teaching gifted/talented/creative learners presents even more challenges, while at the same time providing excellent opportunities for professional growth and development. This paper reviews some of the main skills needed to teach gifted children, examines the competencies of teachers of gifted children and highlights the protocols that should underpin and facilitate exceptionally competent teachers of gifted children. The previous era had required an education for stability, the coming era requires an education for instability. In this review, the differences of teachers of gifted students, especially their knowledge level about diagnostic processes, their expertise and competencies in intellectual assessment, high-level, critical and philosophical thinking skills are discussed in detail.
