Gifted and Talented children frequently are far ahead of their peers academically that they become bored with normal classroom work because they are in desperate need of intellectual stimulation on an appropriate level. GATE students need a trained teacher who understands their needs and help them succeed!.
GATE education generally focuses on problem solving and finding innovative solutions to everyday problems. By giving gifted children challenges that are reachable for them -not for the average student-, they will become motivated to seek knowledge and provide solutions, both now and in the future. Their creative thinking and problem solving can become the technological, political, and societal leaders of tomorrow.

I am glad I found a teacher that listened my son's abilities. She understood his special needs in differentiation and provide him challenges. His behavior changed positively and was motivated to seek more knowledge. It is a shame, not all teachers are prepared to meet these challenges, they are really busy trying to accomplish the education standards, for normal learners, not gifted learners, that they left behind a lot of talent.
