Abstract: This session will focus on what teachers need to know for providing for the educational needs of gifted students in schools. I will introduce teachers to the four pillars of school-based support for gifted students (Preckel, Vock & Olszewski-Kubilius, 2024); the importance of questioning, and an examination of teacher attitudes, teaching and learning perceptions, and understandings of highly able students in a study of selective high school students (Kronborg & Plunkett, 2013).
