Abstract | As a general practice throughout the U.S., gifted students are left to work out their own issues. Although gifted students are generally not considered "high-risk," they too need special attention. High-achieving gifted students experience similar feelings of social and physical anxiety, just like their peers. Additionally, gifted students expect that the high school experience will bring a greatly expanded class workload. With at-risk students, the apprehension concerns a fear of failure. The anxiety of gifted students is not about potentially failing, but rather it is about potentially not achieving success. In this article, the author describes how he helped his students feel less anxious about transitioning to high school. (Contains 4 tables.) (ERIC). |
