Welcome!
A gifted child is one who expresses a higher than average talent in one or multiple measurable areas: intelligence, physical abilities, creativity, and social maturation. Gifted children exist within all socioeconomic communities and among all nationalities and ethnicities. However, a child's day-to-day environment (home, school, etc.) may impact his or her expression of talent by either promoting or stifling his or her natural abilities.
This website was created to provide teachers with resources that can help gifted students be identified who live in high poverty urban communities, as well as to offer ideas that can be used to support these students with their potential social and emotional needs.
