The Purdue Three Stage Model
The Purdue Three Stage Model is a framework for a program or curriculum with an emphasis on creativity, higher level thinking, problem-solving skills, and independent learning abilities. This model is dependent upon trained and creative teachers willing to teach, facilitate and finally offer resources for each individual student.
Criterion 1: Respect for individuals with diverse abilities, strengths, and goals (PARTIALLY MET)
The Purdue Three Stage Model ’s gifted identification process includes particular attention to a student 's’ creativity and potential rather than traditional measures of above average scores in order to include English Language Learners, low income families, and minorities (Moon et al., 2009,

Criterion 7: Incorporate problem-solving model strategies to meet the needs of students with gifts and talents .(FULLY MET)
“Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is easily implemented in a Purdue Three Stage Model program” (Moon et al., 2009, p.313). Encouraging creative problem-solving is found in Stage Two, “Creative and Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Skills” (Moon et al., 2009, p.294) and in Stage Three, the children are invited “to identify real problems in their own lives that could be addressed with an invention” (Moon et al., 2009,

Underachieving gifted students are not addressed.The success of this program does relies on the student’s “self-awareness, resilience, and self-regulation” which sets high expectations for all students (Moon et al., 2009, p.203).

Criterion 9: Provide opportunities for self-exploration, development and pursuit of interests, and development of identities supportive of achievement, e.g. through mentors and role models (FULLY MET)
Teachers are hired and continuously trained to be the role of a teacher, facilitator, and resource teacher (Moon et al., 2009, p.293). Students choose their own pursuit of interest in Stage Three, especially in the Secondary Program (Moon et al., 2009, p.306). “Independent learning opportunities, sometimes in conjunction with mentorships” are offered on the secondary level in order to develop identity and achievement (Moon et al., 2009, p.309).

Criterion 10: Provide for enhancement of oral, written, and artistic forms of communication, recognizing students’ cultural context. (NOT

    in class, such as, “strategies that work for one group of gifted students won't necessarily work for all gifted students” (2016). The Creative Academy has a wonderful outlook of learning, which helps E.D. grow as a gifted student, including self-paced courses. A school system who mirrors The Creative Academy would be ideal for gifted students, because the students would have a higher ability to explore their own personal interests at their own pace. This would possibly help the gifted students fulfill their own cognitive needs. Although The Creative Academy has excellent strengths, one of their weaknesses is how the teachers should interact more with the students.…

    Article Review The article Does America Hate Its Gifted Kids by Chris Weller published on January 16th, 2014 shines light on how the education system fails to include gifted kids. This article causes conflict for the people in all aspects of the education field, including teachers, students, parents and many more because of their direct influence with U.S. education.

    Reading The Explosive Child by Ross W. Greene and Superparenting for ADD by Edward M. Hallowell and Peter S. Jensen has shed some light on teaching students with different challenges and abilities. As Greene puts it, “kids do well if they can” (2010). This statement is something we as educators should keep in mind when working with students who exhibit behavioral challenges or may be displaying signs of ADD. Greene tells us that if our students had the capability of dealing with the challenges set before them adaptively, they would do so. Children do not enjoy the struggles, arguments, and other negative consequences of their maladaptive behavior any more than the parents and teachers do.…

    The prevalence estimate of 3-5% of the school population often is used and has not changed for several years. Gifted and talented students can exhibit a range of characteristics. They are often perfectionists and idealistic, and may experience heightened sensitivity to their own expectations and those of others. They typically show keen powers of observation and sense of the significant; they have an eye for important detail. Gifted students read a great deal on their own, preferring books and magazines written for children older than they are.…

    I was very interested in finding out more information about the Schoolwide Clustering Group Model (SCGM), so I have chosen my school to be based on this model. From the readings on gifted and talented education, it has been stated that schools today are experiencing dramatic changes. Gifted programs that have been around for years are disappearing, and will not likely be replaced any time soon due to budget issues. That is why I chose the SCGM because I believe it is a solution to helping gifted and talented students reach their potential, and it does not seem to require as much money as other programs to implement. Furthermore, the plan includes equitable and effective measures for the entire student body.…

    Option 1: Gifted and talented programming and identification needs to be culturally responsive. Describe a program that would be culturally responsive. Identifying gifted students can be quite a challenge, regularly schools and districts focus on adopting a definition, identifying and then providing intervention. This can be problematic because, “many districts spend much money on identifying, but provide little to know programming for the students they spent such effort to identify” (Peters, 2014). The reading describes a different approach where designing/identifying is first, thinking locally present tense about student needs is second, identifying those who have a need for and would succeed in the program is third and finally regularly review the student progress (Peters, 2014).…

    Post 1:Principles for Fair Student Assessment Practices for Education in Canada "Assessment methods should be suited to the backgrounds and prior experiences of students. Assessment methods should be free from bias brought about by student factors extraneous to the purpose of the assessment. Possible factors to consider include culture, developmental stage, ethnicity, gender, socio-economic background, language, special interests, and special needs. Students' success in answering questions on a test or in an oral quiz, for example, should not be dependent upon prior cultural knowledge, such as understanding an allusion to a cultural tradition or value, unless such knowledge falls 5 within the content domain being assessed. All students should be given the same opportunity to display their strengths" All that I…

Bracy, PhD., acknowledges that standardized tests undermine to produce the attributes of “creativity..., motivation..., persistence, curiosity..., reliability..., self-discipline, leadership..., honesty, integrity” (qtd in “Standardized Tests Do Not Effectively Measure” n.p).

    Even within Math and Science, creativity is required in order to grow and move forward. New ideas have to be created for the world to evolve, but with the stifling of creativity, and the creation of a school system where making mistakes can cost students grades, college admissions, and ultimately their future, putting new ideas out into the open can be intimidating. This renders the education system counterproductive and creates leaders and innovators who succeed despite the structure of their education system instead of because of it. Creativity is a defining trait of civilization and should not be…

It is the 9 values above that can be a measure of a student’s wellbeing, in regards to the student, it has become clear that her peers are avoiding her, therefore inclusion comes into this factor. “some students who are gifted feel left out and different in the classroom and have some serious social/emotional needs as well…. When gifted students are not challenged, their behaviour changes, they tend to lose motivation, and become underachievers” (Bakken,2014) While inclusion is a common factor with gifted students as Jeffrey Bakken concludes, there is also the added emotional distress which needs to be considered when interacting with this…
