4.5.6 Individual Education for Gifted Students to Preserve Their Motivation

Highly talented and gifted learners often require an individual learning pace. Their desire for less repetition along with their need for a deeper understanding confronts teachers with the challenge of appropriately catering to such learners. Our digital world supports the implementation of an individual method more easily than a uniformed school-system. How individual can this implementation be? Can an individual learner still be integrated into his or her class or school, thereby maintaining important social ties? These questions pose a challenge to schools, parents, and students.
