What do we do when we encounter a student in the primary classroom reading and performing math far above grade level? Teachers of primary students may not have the resources or expertise to address the young gifted learners' academic or social/emotional complexities. Addressing these needs is critical to their future academic and social success. This session will describe and discuss the characteristics of young gifted learners and share strategies and techniques to advance curriculum in the early years, develop talent, enhance social maturity, and recognize and nurture emergent potential in low-income young children.
