Description
Teachers act as talent scout in their classroom when identifying and honoring students’ strengths and possibilities. Gagne’s (2020) Differentiating Model of Giftedness and Talent 2.0 (DMGT) helps teacher recognize opportunities in their instructional day to nurture talent development within each child. The classroom environment is crucial for each child’s development, with Environmental Educational (EE) and Environmental Intrapersonal (EI) catalysts playing key roles. Outside the classroom, talent scouts collaborate with other professionals ensuring a communication network is established to foster discussions about talent development.
