  7. Task Commitment Above Average Ability Creativity A I U C C T P Joe Renzulli & Sally Reis, CONFRATUTE creators talk a lot about WHAT MAKES GIFTEDNESS?

  8. Two Types of Giftedness Schoolhouse Giftedness Creative/Productive Giftedness

  9. We in Nutley believe that children need… • Enjoyment • Engagement • Enthusiasm Achievement

  10. Every student’s deep interests need ORE…. • Opportunities • Resources • Encouragement To DEVELOP STUDENT TALENT

  11. We develop student talent by helping them to investigate real problems… The young person thinking, feeling, and doing like the practicing professional... Children can do great things that are similar to the work of adult scientists, writers and film makers, in their own way!

  12. But what makes a problem real? 1. Personalization of the problem 2. Use of authentic methodology 3.Developed to have an impact on a real audience (other than or in addition to the teacher)

  13. Examples of Instructional Products Concrete Products: Physical constructions young people create as they investigate the representative topics and interact with the principles, concepts and methodology of the discipline. • Artistic Products • Architecture • Murals • Sculpture • Maps • Graphic Designs • Performance Products • Skits • Role playing • Dance • Mime • Interpretive Song • Spoken Products • Debates • Speeches • Demonstrations • Panel Discussions • Book Talks • Visual Products • Videos • Musical Scores • Blueprints • Diagrams/Charts • Timelines

  14. Why not believe that Nutley students one day will…win a Nobel Peace Prize...find a cure for cancer…solve economic struggles…eradicate starvation…put this town in national and world history books, known for the development of youth talent and potential…?Why not?we must ask…
