Some might say that when high ability children go for
learning support such as seeking external help outside of school is ‘hot
housing’, especially to get into the local gifted education programme (GEP), I
seek to disagree to a certain extent. There are a few good reasons why these
high ability children might benefit from additional learning opportunities.
1.
The high ability learner might be
significantly ahead of their peers in a subject and may be in danger of being
bored unless there is an opportunity for them to stretch their potential
outside of school.
2.
The high ability learner could be
underachieving at school in one or more subjects and could benefit from extra
learning support outside of school.
3.
The high ability learner needs access to
alternative forms of support which the school is unable to offer.
4.
Just as star athletes train with skilled
coaches, high ability learners need guidance from well-trained teachers who are
able to challenge and support them in order to help develop their intellectual
abilities as early as possible.
5.
There is no strong provision for young high
ability learners.

by what you should have accomplished with your ability. ~ John Wooden
