Gifted and Talented Education

Those seeking information about gifted children and the various methods that would best serve their unique needs should have a representative description of the key ideas about identifying and serving the gifted.  The Center for Creative Learning and Teaching website addresses this need by serving as a concise, clear reference tool for individuals who are interested in the welfare of gifted children.  To this end, the website offers information that:

• educates individuals about identifying characteristics of gifted children
• describes the screening process
• defines common terms associated with gifted and    talented
• recommends educational practices for gifted students
• provides strategic assistance to parents of a gifted child
• informs individuals about books, journals, national and regional organizations, conferences, community resources, and other   websites
