Interview Questions
May. 27th, 2010 09:49 pmI'm going to screen the answers to this - please note if you want your answers to remain screened and if you are open to follow-up questions.
Obviously, this is targeted towards professionals in the field of gifted education, but I am interested in whichever answers anybody wishes to offer to me!
**********
Were you in a gifted program growing up? How did your having been/having not been in one affect your interest in and approach to this field?
What has changed in your work over time?
Which part of your work do you find the most difficult?
How do you respond to claims that giftedness is elitist or doesn't matter once one has left school?
Do you prefer working with kids, with adults, with whole families, or with school systems? Why?
Some states have gifted education under the Special Education (SPED) umbrella, some do not though they still recognize gifted education, and some states have no support or requirement of services for gifted students at all. Of the two approaches to services - in or out of SPED - which do you think works better and why?
