  2. Equal Access • The primary goal of the school library media center is to meet the needs of all students in a given school. (Bishop,191)

  3. Legality of Equal Access • Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 (Public Law 94-142) • Individuals with Disabilities Act (ADA; Public Law 101-336) • Addresses the needs of the child and calls for an individualized education Program (IEP) based on the child’s needs.

  4. Reason for Special Collections • Although each student is unique, he or she may belong to a group sharing characteristics that require special consideration in the collection and can impact circulation policies. ( Bishop,191)

  5. Special Groups • Special Needs students • Gay and Lesbian students • Gifted and Talented students • ESL Students

  6. Gifted and Talented Students Sarah Dugan

  8. Did You Know? • http://www.teachertube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=799aaa845e1c2e8a762b • These statistics are to make you think about the preparation all our students are receiving not just those considered gifted and talented.

  9. Needs of Gifted and Talented Students • Individualized research projects • Inquiry skills must be developed to enhance individualized research • Tend to gather more information than necessary need to learn to dig deeper. • Technology is where students work and play so there is a need to evaluate media bias

  10. General Considerations • Attention, differentiation and funding has decreased with NCLB • Key to eliminate content material already mastered (avoid boredom) • Students may read on advanced levels and capable of reading adult fiction, but maturity level is still within their age group. • The term gifted can apply to a variety of abilities make sure they are identified!

  11. Considerations for the Library Media Specialists • Research has shown that gifted students have preferences for certain genres- fantasy, science fiction, humor, and series books. (Reis, 2007) • Teach information fluency not just information literacy (Graboyes, 2007)

  12. Resources • Check out www.renzullilearning.com • Takes 30 min and produces profile of strengths, interests and learning styles • Links to 16,000 enrichment activities and research projects that align with the results of the profile. • Teacher resources to provide easy to use differentiation strategies
