Abstract

The identification and education of gifted children at an early age remains a challenge and a priority objective of Romanian education. Undoubtedly, children have certain exceptional abilities when entering school, it is the educators` duty to identify these innate skills and to stimulate them so that they reach the performance level. The challenge of the school is to find the means and methods of early intervention to promote a differentiated education that will help the whole group to develop, but which will take into account individualities to promote learning according to the needs of the children. Stimulating the development of each child according to his/her abilities requires a flexible curriculum and differentiated and personalized teaching strategies. In our article we will outline some strategies used in educating gifted children by focusing education and instruction on the child.
