"Teachers who recognize and identify giftedness in the earliest grades are pioneers. Usually children are not formally identified as gifted by a school system until the third or fourth grade.

There are tools you can use to get to know your students better, including (but not limited to) interviews, portfolios, dynamic assessment, and inviting parents to share about their child.
