Gifted Education - A Resource Guide for Teachers
Chris
Chris is a quiet 12 year old who, in spite of poor spelling and handwriting, produces average to above average work in class. He seldom speaks in class although once in a while he offers a unique point of view during discussions in social studies and science. Recently his class took the SRA Diagnostic Reading and Math tests. Although the tests are designed to identify students with difficulties and do not test the upper limits of a student's functioning, Chris surprised his teacher because he made no mistakes on either of the tests. Is Chris gifted?
