What is Gifted?
The National Association for Gifted Children Definition: “Gifted individuals are those who demonstrate outstanding levels of aptitude (defined as an exceptional ability to reason and learn) or competence (documented performance or achievement in top 10% or rarer) in one or more domains. Domains include any structured area of activity with its own symbol system (e.g., mathematics, music, language) and/or set of sensorimotor skills (e.g., painting, dance, sports).” - Read NAGC's position paper: "Redefining Giftedness for a New Century: Shifting the Paradigm" below for additional information.
