Qualities required in a Gifted Education Program
These are the qualities defined by Dr. Joseph Renzulli.   They are necessary in the gifted program at Hainerberg Elementary.

Giftedness consists of an integration among three basic clusters of human traits:

  • above average general abilities
  • high levels of task commitment
  • high levels of creativity
Talented and gifted students are those possessing or capable off developing this composite set of traits and applying them to any potentially valuable area of human performance.  Students who are capable of developing an interaction among the three clusters require a wide variety of educational opportunities and services that may not ordinarily be provided through regular instructional programs.
