Abstract

Chapter 8 recognises that gifted learners need advanced skills to tackle advanced learning tasks but are often not taught these skills. Referred to as the “Tools of Thought”, five skill areas – observation, research, thinking, communication, and organisation – are identified, going beyond technical expertise to support the child in developing as an independent learner.
