dc.description.abstractCurrently, 42 states have laws establishing the rights for the education of gifted students. In Maryland, teachers are required to differentiate instruction to meet the needs of gifted students. Teachers feel a responsibility to meet the needs of gifted students and believe that gifted students deserve the right to free and appropriate education. Placement of an identified gifted learner with a teacher does not require the teacher to have a certification in gifted education in the state of Maryland. However, Maryland state law requires that teachers receive some form of training in gifted education strategies, including differentiation. The needs assessment findings showed teachers believed they were well trained, yet they did not consistently believe in their abilities to meet the needs of gifted students. Therefore, a proposed intervention included providing elementary teachers with direct support in planning for and implementing language arts lessons to fourth-grade gifted learners.
