  TEACHING STRATEGIES TO HELP WITH
SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS -

TEACHING GIFTED PUPILS

BACK    
  • Encourage children to be independent; support them when they use their initiative.

  • Try and encourage them to respect the opinions and ideas of others.

  • Although very intelligent, these children still need to be socialising with their peers; encourage them to take part in pair, group and other learning groups.

  • Encourage them to reflect on their own learning and think about how they make progress.

  • Listen to their views on how they like to learn and provide opportunities for this, but encourage them to develop other learning strategies also.

  • Use wrong answers as a learning opportunity.

  • Give them opportunities to consider questions/problems to which there is no definitive answer.

  • Provide higher level tasks than usual in lessons; provide a bank of higher level extension activities to encourage all pupils to aspire to a high standard.
