“Educators-teachers, administrators, counselors, and psychologists-who are not familiar with, ignore or minimize the various needs of gifted students are likely to be ineffective with them.

Thoughts…
“African American, Hispanic American, Native American and Asian American gifted students have cognitive, affective, and instructional needs like White gifted students, but they also have different needs. To ignore, negate, or minimize these differences is to ignore these students.” –Ford and Milner, 2005

Gifted students need opportunities…
to be themselves to understand what it means to
be gifted to work with intellectual peers to have their strengths and
abilities acknowledged to have their interests supported to be listened to to advocate for their needs
Affective Needs
