Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index Gifted education is a broad term for special practices, procedures and theories used in the education of children in K-12 education who have been identified as gifted or talented. Because gifted and/or talented youth are so perceptually and intellectually deviant from the mean, it is appropriate to pace their lessons more aggressively, track them into honors or Advanced Placement courses, or otherwise provide educational enrichment.
