Synopsis

This research focuses on International Baccalaureate (IB) students perceptions through the doctoral research lens of 200 American Psychological Association (APA) citations - followed by deep student voice interviews with five former students who were considered “gifted” and who moved on to university, and the workplace. Is Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) the wrong acronym? Are we, in fact, dealing with gifted students? Are students who interrupt friends by talking excessively, who lose things, who are distracted by unrelated thoughts, who become disorganized with activities, who are never on time – are these students ADHD or gifted? In the literature “Generating puzzlement to these findings are accounts that there is little difference in achievement levels between gifted and non-gifted students within the general classroom” (Zeidner, Shani-Zinovich, Matthews & Roberts, 2005).“The quirky, idiosyncratic path of gifted children lands right in the belly of this book. Parents and teachers need to know how to handle gifted children. They are complex, and their path is as complicated as the underserved we seem to focus on in our socially constructed society.” Christine C. Burgoyne – Teacher and Seattle Public Library employee. The Effectiveness of Transcendental Teaching Styles becomes a reminder that education is not transactional. Education is about moving into higher orders of thought. Otherwise, why bother? Dr. John L. LaCasse Ph.D.
