Giftedness is defined as children and youth, who are identified at the preschool, elementary, or secondary level as possessing demonstrated or potential abilities that give evidence of high performance capability in areas such as intellectual, creative, specific academic or leadership ability or in the performing and visual arts and who by reason thereof require services or activities not ordinarily provided by a school. Giftedness is classified under learning disabilities because of the testing procedures and the additional assistance need in the learning process in order to ensure a successful education. Talented and gifted students are usually identified by a high IQ score and a very high strength in a particular area. Areas of strength can be anything from academics to sporting activities to the arts to anything that one excels highly. Giftedness is a condition that has to be observed, monitored and assessed frequently throughout the student’s years in school to ensure that the student is staying at or above course level without being held back or bored by material in the classroom. It is a necessity of the teacher to make sure that the student is not getting bored with material but on the same hand that the teacher is not excluding the rest of the class by including the gifted child. This is a very fine line that the teacher of a gifted student runs and has to be highly monitored and well planned so that the student is the one who will benefit and succeed.
