Bank History Internal Technology
Unfortunately, it is not every day that an educator is given carte blanche to design and implement an instructional program that would enhance gifted students' learning. With all of the fiscal rumblings coming from both the state and Federal levels, one must sadly suspect that it will be a while before anyone asks this question in earnest. However, considering the possibilities of a revamped NCLB, it would be a good exercise to imagine what teachers could do for the gifted if they had the resources.
Teaching How to Learn
The world is changing its knowledge base at a geometrically accelerating rate. The body of information which was sufficient for veteran teachers to be successful as young men and women just a few years ago simply is not enough in the new millennium. Further, it does not seem possible that teachers can expect our smartest young people to memorize or internalize all of these data, there is too much information that will change too fast, and rote memory usually isn’t the best teaching tactic to take with gifted students anyway.
With gifted children, the chief responsibility of a school in the upcoming century will be to teach them how to learn. They will need both critical thinking skills and problem solving strategies to be successful as lifelong learners, and just going to school and graduating will not always prepare a gifted student to compete for a job in the next one hundred years; they will always have to be learners, constantly updating their knowledge bases and skills.
