Meeting The Needs Of All Students

Recently, in one of my classes, we’ve discussed the needs of academically gifted children in the classroom. This has been an eye-opening subject for me and I have to admit that I’ve rarely given this student demographic much thought. This is a group that is as deserving of quality, need-meeting education as at-risk students. Somehow, AIG students are often overlooked and underappreciated. I hope to be a teacher that can scaffold my lessons to meet the needs of every student in my class. I don’t want any student to feel unchallenged, unimportant, or unmotivated.
