A one-size-fits-all approach to learning doesn’t suit today’s classrooms
It is our duty to nurture and celebrate potential in gifted and talented children.
I manage gifted and talented provision in 30 schools, and I see examples of how it provides opportunities for all children and offers challenges appropriate to their individual needs every day. The government’s personalised learning policy correctly regards children who are significantly ahead of their peers as having their own special needs, which are of a different variety to those associated with learning and behavioural difficulties, says Jane Maguire, in The Guardian, 9/30/08.
