pp. 10-17 of the text offer lists of and commentary about them compiled from research on the characteristics of academically gifted students and creative gifted students. In addition to this information the authors state: “Perhaps the most comprehensive, well-researched compilation of characteristics of talented students across numerous content areas and areas of strength is the Scales for Rating the Behavioral Characteristics of Superior Students (SRBCSS) by Renzulli and his associates” (page 11). We’ve provided those scales in two documents—the original scales and the four most recent additions. Compare the categories in these scales with the categories developed by other researchers in the text. Would you make any revisions? Choose three characteristics and write a brief description of the ways you can think of right now that you would alter a lesson for gifted students.
