I liked the above image. In terms of gifts and talents, I believe all children are gifted and talented and as they spiral up the knowledge mountain, some will run, some will walk and some will dawdle but it is up to the teacher to provide as many opportunities as possible for each student to be able to display their particular gift or talents and feel some sense of achievement.Every student has the potential to succeed and I believe that in the ideal classroom every student is contributing in a meaningful way.
