PA319 Education and Exceptionally Able Children

Description

Very high learning potential children, especially those with identified ability in the exceptionally or profoundly categories, are likely to have significantly different educational needs compared to their peers. Their advanced abilities in comprehension and cognitive ability mean that regular classroom challenge appropriate for their age rather than their ability will not provide the rigour needed for them to develop essential learning skills and derive satisfaction and achievement. This advice sheet is aimed at parents and carers, as well as teachers and professionals, and gives information and advice about supporting the education of very high learning potential children.
