How to teach gifted students strategies and tips

1" Teaching is an art". Rajeev Ranjan

 Educator indentifies individual’s inbuilt unique ability
and capacity. We know that Guru Dronachary (educator)
taught Kaurbas and Pandvas in the epic Mahabharta. He
identifies the unique qualities of Arjun i.e. passion to learn
new thing, consistent in nature and persistent in hard
work, ready to practice more and positive attitude to fit
into the changing circumstances. Guru Dronachary taught
every prince of Hastinapur, however cared a little more for
Arjun and indeed Arjun left unforgettable impact for
generation to generation to sing the saga of strong bond
between a Guru and Shisya(Educator and disciple).

 21st
century educator nurtures the talent of
fast web browsing world kids. Students do
not solely depend on the educator. They
take help from search engine to explore the
knowledge and information and dive in the
fathomless ocean to find out best available
sources. Educator helps and guides students
to reach ‘where’, to find out ‘what’ and
“how” to imbibe the knowledge.

7
Nobody is inferior and nobody is superior, one is
just oneself. Educator indentifies inherent
capacity of students. He nurtures the inherent
talent to become more efficient and more skilled;
to do something more innovative, more
expressive, and more novel for the welfare of the
universe. A classroom consists of mix group of
learners i.e. academically good, average and
struggler in academic performance. A classroom
consists of different types of learners i.e. visual,
auditory, kinaesthetic so on and so forth.

8
Educator nurtures everyone in the class. He
tries to include something more to enhance
the learning aptitude and attitude of the
students, however to teach academically
brilliant students of the class demands
intensive effort from an educator.

9
 Educator should have command on concerned
subject. He should have deep knowledge of
concerned subject. Educator should be
comfortable and spontaneous in teaching
his/her own subject.
 Educator should be equipped and aware with
worldwide latest development in his/her own
subject i.e. facts, theory, concepts, research,
new invention and innovation, book, journals
etc.

10
 Educator should be well aware and equipped with
worldwide traditional and modern teaching methodology ,
various teaching techniques Educator should be well
aware of educational philosophy and latest learning theory
i.e. multiple intelligence, habits of mind, learner centred
approach, project based learning, brainstorming,
collaborative learning, connectives, discovery learning etc.
It helps educator to decide the best for the learners i.e.
appropriate to age, learners’ level and learning styles,
society, culture, state and nation.

11
 Educator should use appropriate teaching
methods and academic tasks to ensure active
participation of good academic performers’ in the
classroom. Educator should integrate active,
responsible and co-operative learning in the
classroom appropriate to the age and ability of the
learners and dare to include something beyond
prescribed syllabus to avoid boredom, laziness
and disinterestedness.

12
 Educator should plan a lesson before taking
the class. Advance planning of topic/lesson
helps educator to create learning
environment in the classroom. Teacher
should use best available materials to cater
the need of brilliant students of the class.
https://www.slideshare.net/rajeevelt/planning-a-lesson
We should take care of following points:-

13
 Best material related to the concerned
teaching topic
 Advanced challenging alternative activities
for good students to enhance thinking
skills(task for individual student to create,
develop, design something new i.e.
experiment, artistic works)
https://www.slideshare.net/rajeevelt/multiple-intelligence-6963360

14
Advanced questions for good students i.e.
worksheet, practice paper, HOTS questions
Proper time management for different tasks and
activities
https://www.slideshare.net/rajeevelt/classroom-management-49823934
Share instructions precisely to avoid confusion in
the class

15
 Share instructions precisely to avoid
confusion in the class

16
 Educator should fulfil the promise made on daily
basis timely to develop habit of punctuality to
complete task timely and to develop bonding of
trust between educator and students.
 Educator should reach to classroom timely to
aware students about the value of time. Student
learns good behaviour while s/he observes that
his educator ‘not only talk’ about values of life but
follows them in his own life.

17
 Educator should develop a rapport, a deep
bonding, faithfulness and trustworthiness
among good academic performers of the
class. We should keep a flexible
professional relationship with students
inside/outside classroom so that s/he can
clarify his/her query without hesitation

18
 Educator should develop his efficiency and
proficiency at highest level where student starts
respecting and accepting teacher’s subject
knowledge and behavioural quality
unquestionably. The day good academic
performer starts believing the teacher, s/he starts
listening teacher positively, starts following
teacher’s guidelines, starts executing teacher’s
guidelines on paper or starts doing more practice
and hard work .

19
 Educator should initiate intensive involvement of
good academic performers in analyzing data, case
studies, problem solving, relevant examples and
anecdotes, relevant questions, open ending
discussion for developing positive learning
environment in the classroom. We should provide
a large number of challenging and varied
problems solving activities.

20
 Educator should respect the question asked by
the students. We should take serious note of their
questions. We should not discourage and ridicule
students for asking relevant questions in the
classroom and outside the classroom. Educator
should give relevant, rationale and authentic reply
to quench the learning thirst of good students. In
fact, educator provides opportunity for students to
ask questions and then educator attempts to
answer all questions promptly, precisely and
clearly.

22
Educator should identify the special needs of good
academic performer and guide the learners to
improve that weak areas. If good academic
performer initiates to work on weak area, s/he
touches the height of excellence. We have to adopt
different teaching strategies for each good
academic performer of the class.

27
 Educator should nurture good academic
performers’ creative skills and explorative skills.
Educator should respect good students’ innovative
ideas and their passion to do the things in a new
way. We should listen their ideas and concepts
patiently and emphatically, and guide them to do
the best. Acceptance and recognition of good
students’ ideas give them intrinsic motivation to
do something great in life.

30
Educator should help good academic performers
to do proper focus on understanding the concepts,
theorem, formulas etc. Educator should encourage
and engage student to focus on “ Why” and “ How”
for instigating, initiating and exploring the
learning concepts, theorem and formulas.

31
to analyze the question pattern properly i.e. types
of questions, distribution of marks, distribution of
time for each question, difficulty level of
questions, question reference etc to plan ahead, do
adequate right practice and execute the plans
properly.

32
to prepare whole prescribed syllabus in its true
spirit. We should guide students to differentiate
the thin layer difference among important, very
important and very –very important topics for the
examination. Command over complete syllabus
helps students to shine like bright stars in the
unlimited sky.

33
Educator should help learners to revise the
prescribed syllabus properly, help them to
develop own learning methods/techniques and
also help them to develop their own way of doing
revision to keep retention of learning topics for
long time . Educator should provide them enough
relevant materials for extensive reading(articles,
journals, extract from a resource book related to
teaching topics) and practicing in terms of
worksheet, project work, HOTS questions etc.

35
Educator should adopt a valid assessment tool and
techniques to avoid confusion and clash on the
authenticity and reliability of the evaluation
process. A good assessment technique helps
teacher to evaluate students’ learning skills,
capacity and capability in its true spirit.

36
 Educator should respect the dignity of good academic
performers. We should avoid too much criticism. Our
remarks/comments(positive/negative) have great impact
on students’ mind. Educator’s remarks/comments/criticism
can change a layman to an extraordinary man and an
extraordinary man to a layman. Good students may
commit mistakes, however they are sensitive enough to
realize their mistakes and ready to work on their mistakes.
We should make good students' aware about their
academic as well as attitudinal mistakes. Educator should
be fair in handling different types of learners in the
classroom.

37
Educator should share values of humankind
trustworthiness, punctuality, equality etc. (show
the respect for self and the society). Good students
always possess moral values and have positive
attitude, however, educator should share values of
life as a guardian. Show them right path to reach at
right place

39
 Educator should help students to learn life skills to
face the challenges of day to day life. Life skills make
us an authentic personality, who sees life in a wider
perspective. Life skills help us to become an
integrated individual. Educator should help student to
become a good human being. We should guide good
students i.e. how to come out from extreme peer and
parental pressure and how to manage different level
of rejection in different circumstances etc. True spirit
of education lies in nurturing an individual to become
an integrated personality.
