What is Gifted?

On the right we have a powerpoint presentation created by Leticia Jaquez. She has based the information in this presentation on the book A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children by James T. Webb, Janet L. Gore, Edward R. Amend and Arlene R DeVries. This presentation will give an overview on what it means to be gifted including, the federal definition of giftedness, Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, and the characteristics of gifted children. Please note that this is just a general overview and not a basis for defining who is gifted and who is not.
