Write the student’s name in the blank space on p. 48. Then, using the model below, write the GIFTS acronym to think about this student and his/ her development.(Encouraged, but not required: go through this process with your gifted identified students, or maybe even your entire class! This could be an assignment they complete for a grade that might generate self-awareness.)
Model Response: Sean: Gifted: amazing scientific reasoning, sees depth and complex Influential: has strong respect among adults, peers of similar intellectual ability Fruitful: I think Sean’s greatest fruit will come when he can be creative but someone else will handle the deadlines/ administrative work Trustworthy: completely honest, but very disorganized. He will need help with this to be successful. Service: he has stated in journal entries and in class that he wants to make the world a better place. As a teacher, I can most help Sean develop his gifts by helping him learn to handle deadlines and/ or find something (an “app”) or someone to help him get his thoughts organized. I think I can also help him learn to focus his many interests and start thinking about how he can use those gifts/ interests to benefit others. Please mark complete when you have finished this exercise.
