The notion that age equates to grade is out of tune with what we know about individual differences. Research reveals that gifted students are more academically and emotionally advanced than their typical age-mates. Therefore, it makes more sense to think about readiness, rather than age, as the main determinant for grade placement.

CAG has compiled this booklet of information to help teachers better serve the needs of gifted and talented students in the classroom. While the materials included in the handbook are by no means all-inclusive, the resources and information provided are a great place to start!
The Paradise Valley Unified School District offers a full range of gifted education services to students residing both inside and outside the district boundaries. Gifted services are provided at all 45 schools, including:
"Cluster grouping enables teachers to develop lessons for gifted children that help to keep them engaged throughout the school day, rather than one isolated period.
We're pleased to see our students reaching their full potential with the support of talented teachers."
This program provides assistance to schools providing education for gifted students. It ensures compliance with state requirements for the appropriate identification procedures of potentially gifted students, and curriculum and instruction for students who have been identified as gifted.
We of AAGT seek to support and collaborate with those most involved in the lives of gifted children: parents, families, teachers, and school administrators

The Renzulli Learning Differentiation EngineTM puts students in touch with engaging, individualized resources specially chosen for their interest areas and learning styles.
It wounds me to list links sequentially as the internet and the human mind work by multiple dimensions of association. So, please ignore the order of the links as they are all related to each other in multiple ways. If you do magic rope tricks you're playing with knots and problem solving which is math or topology, which deals with spatial enclosure, which is origami and/or geodesic domes, which both converge to kites. You get the idea.
Our brightest, most creative children and adults are often being misdiagnosed with behavioral and emotional disorders such as ADHD, Oppositional-Defiant Disorder, Bipolar, OCD, or Asperger’s. Many receive unneeded medication and inappropriate counseling as a result.
A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children begins with the basics: terms and definitions, and characteristics of giftedness, from those typical characteristics we all know, to the gifted child's unique Overexcitabilities and potential strengths disguised as weaknesses. Next, Webb and friends discuss communication, an important factor both in parenting and educating the gifted child. Their great ideas are good not only for parents communicating with gifted kids, but also for parents communicating with educators, and parents teaching their gifted kids how to communicate effectively. Even gifted kids need to learn the strength of communication!
