"Recognizing Characteristics of and Developing Effective Teaching Strategies for Gifted and Talented Students Based on a Case Study" 000-000. Researchers have studied the characteristics of gifted and talented children. These characteristics are divided based on two aspects: intellective characteristics and non-intellective characteristics. Most research has not focused on non-intellective characteristics but on the intellective characteristics. Currently, when gifted children face unique challenges in their learning, teachers are expected to meet those challenges by employing effective strategies. The purpose of this paper is to shed light on the importance of not only intellective characteristics but also non-intellective characteristics and to suggest effective teaching strategies for Gifted and Talented children. To achieve this, a case study of ten students in U.S. Gifted and Talented classes are examined, and based on the case studies and the previous study of Betts & Neihart (1988), three categories are suggested for further identify gifted and talented students, based on both the intellective and non-intellective characteristics : The Successful, the Challenging, and the Underground. Further, nine ways are suggested to better educate gifted children by incorporating teaching strategies to meet their unique needs based on the previous studies of researchers and the survey comments of GATE teachers: Compacting the Curriculum, Supplying Extra Pre-Planned Activities, Developing In-Depth Activities, Providing Positive Reinforcement, Stimulating Awareness through Written Clues, Enhancing the Curriculum with Creativity, Encouraging Students by Giving Immediate Feedback, Incorporating Kinesthetic Activities, and Finding Mentors.
