I have found the best way to help your gifted and talented students is to learn as much as you can. Gifted and talented students have struggles, unlike the average student. You may want to reach out and get help from others who have been where you are now.
This page provides you with links to help you better understand your students. It also includes links to enrich these students. Resources will continue to be added. If you have other resources you would like to add to the list, please send them through comments.
