Description
The student who fails shoelace tying and cries easily, but breezes through STEM, wins the chess tournament, and cites thoughts of favorite authors would certainly not be viewed in the same way by all elementary teachers. When learning disabilities and personality are factored in, many bright young people may find themselves overlooked when gifted identification occurs. Early childhood teachers often focus on skill acquisition rather than on high-level thinking, much to the detriment of their gifted students.
