These tasks are designed to challenge Gifted and Talented students. They are designed to extra curricular work that challenges their thinking skills. I hold an awards evening at the end of the school year based on these tasks where they are displayed in the school hall and students give a presentation on their work to parents and and teachers.<br /> <br /> Some tasks are based on school curriculum subjects while others are based on the higher level thinking of Bloom`s Taxonomy--Analysis, Evlauation and Synthesis.<br /> <br /> The tasks can be edited to suit your local community.

Barry Hymer - Gifted and Talented

Basic outline of gifted and talented booklet for PE students.

<p>A rather detailed variety of report descriptions for a mixed age of gifted and talented childlren.</p>

<p>Cards for performing, composing and appraising which can be used by students at KS2 and 3 to further stretch and challenge them in lessons.</p> <p>Usually printed on 3 different coloured cards, they can be selected by students when completing any work and they should be able to link the extra challenge to what they are completing.</p>

<p>A PowerPoint presentation to guide a Christian assembly on celebrating our gifts and talents. Suitable for use at primary level. Contains Bible references and concludes with a prayer. To the best of my knowledge images included are copyright free.</p>

<p>A lesson plan offering a carousel of activities focusing on “Gifts and Talents&quot;</p>

<p>Produced for gifted and talented KS2 students to spark aspiration, and develop skills. As this is open-ended it could be used with students of any ability, as it has scaffolds and prompts to support thinking and investigation if needed.</p> <p>Could be used over a long period of time, to drop in and out of, or as holiday homework. There are 10 challenges, which can be completed individually in isolation, as a complete set, and in any order. A range of topics are included to develop a wider range of skills, and to capture student interest.</p>

<p>Resources for Primary school Gifted and Talented/Most Able Leaders. Resources include:</p> <ul> <li>Staff Meeting presentation</li> <li>Audit Tool to evaluate provision</li> <li>Identification Framework to establish a Pupil Register</li> <li>Skills Assessment of pupils working at a greater depth</li> <li>Ideas for lesson provision in all subjects other than Literacy and Maths</li> <li>Group Activities - based on Philosophy for Children</li> <li>Independent Thinking Skills Activities</li> </ul>

<p>Useful for school leaders or Govt Education department education workers.<br /> What a gifted and talented Co-ordinator will do.<br /> I aim to start by looking at the aims of the Gifted and Talented Programme within the EIC.<br /> Next I will look at the Vision and then relate it to reality.<br /> I will then move on to show where we are at present and have used the information received in the Strategic plan to help with this.<br /> I will then move on to the future and what effect a co-ordinator will have on the LEA, the school and governors, the parents and the pupils.</p>

<p>This unit of work and accompanying series of lessons was designed for a class of Gifted and Talented students in year 8. They were studying fantasy fiction in their general English classes, and withdrawn for 2 separate sessions a week to focus on these extension activities.</p> <p><strong>This unit can be integrated into a fantasy unit or taught separately. Details are as follows:</strong></p> <ul> <li>PBL, student-centred model</li> <li>Culminating product is a fantasy narrative fiction</li> <li>Lots of scaffolds, differentiation and stretch and challenge</li> <li>Designed as an introduction to understanding literary theory</li> <li>Built around fostering higher order thinking skills, critical and creative writing, and 21st century skills (collaboration, questioning etc).</li> <li>Research and digital literacy- some lessons require independent research and inquiry.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Lessons included focus on the following:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Why have people dissed fantasy? Critical readings of Le Guinn and Tolkien</li> <li>Introduction of project and need to knows</li> <li>Process of creation: who was Tolkien and what were his methods?</li> <li>Introduction of complex terminology relating to fantasy world-building</li> <li>Breakdown of critical reading of “On Fairy Stories” and linking to ‘what is the purpose of fantasy?’</li> <li>How to build a convincing fantasy world</li> <li>How to create unique magic systems</li> <li>What are the ethical considerations of fantasy?</li> </ul> <p>Originally, this powerpoint was made using Google Slides, and students all had their own digital copy. This is why some of the interactive “portals” (pictures where students can right-click and will be taken to a separate resource) link elsewhere. I have included the resources in a different form so that you can give these to students in hard copy form instead.</p>

6 sheets that form a passport booklets with ideas from each department of what your gifted and talented pupils can do to enhance their learning outside the curriculum. They collect stamps throughout the year the more stamps the better the destination the passport will take you! We did reward trips for stamps. Easy to use, each department has input and easy for pupils and teachers alike to track the additional activity's of their HAP or gifted and talented pupils

This is a project geared towards second grade G&amp;T students. After doing a study on healthy eating, students will use the attached worksheet to create an original sandwich. They will then pair up to create a menu.
