Identification
"Few areas in the education of children with exceptionalities are as controversial and critical as appropriate identification of children who are gifted. The controversies involve all the pros and cons of labeling children as well as a variety of political issues. Yet, identification remains critical to ensuring that children receive the services they need to thrive in school. This digest discusses the identification of students who are gifted, the difficulties in the identification process, appropriate identification practices, and procedures that can help with identification. "
I think it is interesting that identification for gifted students is surrounded by such controversy while the identification process for special education students is generally accepted. It makes me wish for a more concrete way to identify students as being gifted.
