Gifted and Talented
Developing Competencies
Using ICT
Why?
Court Moor School • 20% of students who are considered to be G and T
Few level 7’s A need to develop learners who are
• More independent
• Enjoy learning
• Flexible learners
Working with Gifted and Talented in ICT
Pupils who are gifted in ICT benefit from enrichment and extension activities that include key skills, in particular:
Recommendations from QCA
Communication discussing
• relevant ideas• issues and information
speaking clearly taking into account the audience responding one to one and in a group.
For example, pupils contribute to a class evaluation of their work, providing constructive feedback on work that they find stimulating
Working with others
planning what needs to be done confirm understanding of the objectives and
processes to be used
For example, pupils work collaboratively on a model of a theatre, creating the model itself and then developing the component parts, such as the lights, the sound and the scene changes, so that they all work smoothly together
Numeracy
interpreting numerical and spatial data derived from a variety of sources• such as CD-ROMs and web pages.
For example, pupils make adjustments to units of measurement in order to make like-for-like comparisons
Improving own learning and performance
applying the plan-do-review cycle set their own targets confirm their own understanding making and following plans reviewing achievements and progress.
Commentary on a Student who is Identified as G andT
There is a greater emphasis on developing Peter as an autonomous, metacognitive learner with stronger generic learning skills. This is being achieved through an enriched range of resources, challenges and opportunities

Opening Minds
Competences for Learning Students would: understand how to learn, taking account of their preferred learning
styles, and understand the need to, and how to, manage their own learning throughout life
have learned systematically, to think have explored and reached an understanding, of their own creative
talents, and how best to make use of them have learned to enjoy and love learning for its own sake and as
part of understanding themselves have achieved high standards in literacy, numeracy, and spatial
understanding have achieved high standards of competence in handling
information and communications technology and understand the underlying processes.
Competences for Citizenship
Students would: have developed an understanding of ethics and values,
how personal behaviour should be informed by these, and how to contribute to society
understand how society, government and business work, and the importance of active citizenship
understand cultural and community diversity, in both national and global contexts, and why these should be respected and valued
understand the social implications of technology have developed an understanding of how to manage
aspects of their own lives, and the techniques they might use to do so including managing their financial affairs
Competences for Relating to PeopleStudents would: understand how to relate to other people in varying contexts in
which they might find themselves, including those where they manage, or are managed by, others; and how to get things done
understand how to operate in teams, and their own capacities for filling different team roles
understand how to develop other people, whether as peer or teacher
have developed a range of techniques for communicating by different means, and understand how and when to use them
have developed competence in managing personal and emotional relationships
understand, and be able to use, varying means of managing stress and conflict.
Competences for Managing Information
Students would: have developed a range of techniques for
accessing, evaluating and differentiating information and have learned how to analyse, synthesise and apply it
understand the importance of reflecting and applying critical judgement, and have learned how to do so
Competences for Managing SituationsStudents would: understand the importance of managing their own time, and
have developed preferred techniques for doing so understand what is meant by managing change, and have
developed a range of techniques for use in varying situations understand the importance both of celebrating success and
managing disappointment, and ways of handling these understand what is meant by being entrepreneurial and
initiative-taking, and how to develop capacities for these understand how to manage risk and uncertainty, the wide
range of contexts in which these will be encountered, and techniques for managing them
Personal, learning and thinking skills
The framework comprises six groups of skills: independent enquirers creative thinkers reflective learners team workers self-managers effective participators.

• To meet levels
• Develop competencies and PLTS’s

Activities beyond the classroom for gifted pupils in ICTCase study: an activity dayUsing a suspended timetable for one day 'Mission Impossible' for 24 year 8 pupils who had been identified with special abilities. Working
in groups, the pupils were briefed in a presentation at the start of the day to give them a clear focus.
Their mission was to: form a company with an appropriate name and logo explain the importance of sustainable development design a product to meet the requirements of the situation design and make packaging for the product produce an A4 sheet on their product make a group presentation at the end of the day to the head, the local environmental
officer and the school's environmental group organiser. Pupils had to access all the information for the day through computers in the library and
ICT suite. Two teachers were available for consultation and guidance. The topic of sustainability, and the pace and group skills demanded by the scale of the
tasks, presented a challenging day for the group.
Activity Using
• the description of levels
• the outlines of the POS
• Opening Minds competencies identify a project with cross curricular aspects that will
provide opportunities for G and T students to reach the higher levels.
Identify the outline of the project The possible level a G and T student could achieve and why The OM competencies/ PLTS’s the student would achieve
