Raising the standard (NPF1)
Addressing the needs of gifted and talented pupils

Anneli McLachlan

This book considers how we can motivate high-ability pupils at all levels – from Key Stage 2 through GCSE to advanced level – to achieve to the best of their ability. It shows how we can successfully tap the potential of able learners – some of whom may be under-achieving – while considering how our approach to gifted and talented pupils can benefit our teaching of all pupils. The Government has focused our attention on this issue, with its national strategy for the education of gifted and talented children. As language teachers, we are thus able to put our methodology for teaching our most able under scrutiny in order to establish best practice.
