Where can I find enrichment activities for students who are gifted?
The field of gifted education has been, for many years, a laboratory for the development of creative educational enrichment activities. Critical thinking, problem-finding, and problem-solving activities, for example, were originated by professionals working in gifted education. Recently these creative activities have been used successfully in heterogeneous classrooms, and teachers have found that the activities are highly stimulating for general education populations.
