Before starting work, each teacher must provide the school administration with a package of certain documents that confirm his readiness for the learning process. It does not depend on where and in which school a person works.
Work plan
Gifted children are a special category of students who need to be treated a little differently than everyone else, given a little more time. Therefore, if there are precisely such students in the classroom, the teacher must have a plan for working with gifted children. He will reveal all the features of their learning process.
Where to begin
It is necessary to remind that the plan of work with gifted children is a document, therefore it should be executed in accordance with all the rules. So, it all starts with an explanatory note, where the results of the teacher’s work are presented in a short form, the plan itself follows, and a few points are completed on the document about what are the possible risks, and what exactly is expected to be obtained as a result of the fulfillment of all points of the plan.
About the plan
So, what items can a work plan for gifted children consist of? Here you can already include imagination (of course, within the framework of the options proposed by the educational commissions, which always give a certain pattern). It can be various seminars, workshops, testing, interviews.
Questionnaire Testing
The plan of work with gifted children will necessarily include a paragraph on testing. This is necessary in order to identify the special inclinations of the child, to reveal in him all the talents that are inherent in him. So, the first questionnaire is just the so-called “anatomical”, and then special tasks will follow to determine the level of knowledge of the baby. It is worth noting that a gifted child is not necessarily the one who solves differential equations in the fifth grade , these are children who think, perceive science and creativity in a special way, and are also ready for independent learning, despite even hard material.
Key Points
Organization of work with gifted children should be based on certain points, which form the complete plan. So, in addition to testing, the teacher must also consider other ways to diagnose such children. It can be various contests, olympiads, such students can be distinguished according to the recommendations of teachers or parents, through individual conversations. All these points must be taken into account. It is worth noting that each gifted child should have individual work, it is very difficult to do this in a complex (only if this is not a special class where such students are gathered), it is also important to write about this in the plan. Some children need to be sent to the Olympics, where their knowledge will be appreciated, but if the kid is creative, then the teacher should organize special competitions and exhibitions of works from time to time.
Teacher training
Individual work with gifted children also requires the teacher to have certain knowledge and skills. Therefore, each teacher must write about how he prepares for classes: selects literature, participates in specialized seminars and round tables, consults with specialists in working with such children. An equally important point of the plan is the methodological support, where the teacher reveals the sources from which he draws his knowledge. Thanks to this, it will be possible to draw conclusions how relevant and fresh are the knowledge of the teacher himself, who works with gifted children.
