He reminds us that when searching for gifted students, our criteria shouldn’t necessarily be compliance, great grades, or a strong work ethic. And, yet, such a program is exactly what these children need.
The tragedy of these traits is that, despite being rather common, they are often the very things that keep students from being identified and placed in a gifted program. Now, I read these same comics and see Calvin as the perfect introduction to the unexpected characteristics of many gifted students. Calvin and Gifted CharacteristicsĪs a kid, I read Calvin and Hobbes religiously.
The traits in the “gifted” category always make me think of Calvin from Bill Watterson’s wonderful Calvin and Hobbes. One of my favorite guides to understanding our students is Bertie Kingore’s breakdown of the traits of “gifted” and “high achieving” students.
