- Definition of Gifted
Former U. S. Commissioner of Education Sidney P. Marland, Jr., in his August 1971 report to Congress, stated, "Gifted and talented children are those identified by professionally qualified persons who by virtue of outstanding abilities are capable of high performance."These are children who require differentiated educational programs and/or services beyond those normally provided by the regular school program in order to realize their contribution to self and society" (Marland, 1972).

- Developing Thinking in the Gifted
Gifted children offer special challenges in thinking skills development. Their gifts and talents cause us to believe that they already are good
thinkers and that our work is to provide educational and developmental experiences that expose them to greater breadth and depth of content.
In other words, we need to give them more to think about. But contemporary theory and research on the brain, intelligence, learning styles, etc.
indicate that we have areas of natural strength and ability and other areas where our abilities are in need of development. And research in the
area of expertise indicates that even gifted performers must pass through a number of necessary developmental stages to move from novice to
expert.

world views. Information deemed central to one viewpoint appears irrelevant from the other perspective. The sequential system
appears to be profoundly influenced by audition, whereas the spatial system relies heavily on vision and visualization.
