Abstract:

The author addresses the issues of difference and diversity, and their effect on gifted and talented (G/T) students. The characteristics of G/T students are listed and analyzed, with a resultant understanding of the many ways in which these students may be different from their peers. The listed characteristics also show how G/T students are able to excel in the writing and understanding of poetry. Techniques for the writing of poetry to further understand their own difference and diversity are listed, as well as specific poetry to be read about the subject. The author is a social worker, poet, former elementary teacher, and the parent of G/T children.
