Matching IQ with Classroom Performance
A number of young children who possess IQ values on the
higher side may experience extreme difficulties in their formal classrooms.
Most children with high IQs (read gifted children) display a number of internal
differences that show a sign of increased pronouncement, when they enter their
classrooms. These children's apparent deviation from the normal may make them
different-lot in their classroom, when compared to other average to intelligent
children. These children also exhibit a number of unique learning behaviors
that seem to be entirely different from others.
Children with extraordinary intelligence and talent always need a progressive,
conducive and encouraging environment in their classroom. In absence of these
parameters, they may show signs of declining learning attitude eventually
leading to frustration and disappointments. Although, these children are
extremely empowered with rare talents and abilities, their classroom
performance may still remain sub-standard and average. If high IQ, giftedness
and brilliance do not match our children's day-to-day classroom performance,
what would we do?
Teaching and training extremely endowed children is very challenging and
complex. Teachers in the classrooms have a lot of responsibility in integrating
such children in their classrooms. Strong observational skills apart from
fine-tuned teaching methods can help a teacher and parent to tutor children
with very high IQ. A strong will to help these children can assist them to gel
and work with peers and score better marks.
Now the time for a bad news: "all the children" have extraordinary
intelligence, often in many different ways. That makes a teacher's job
extremely difficult. We need to explore and find out this most prominent
ones and then take an approach to nurture it. It takes time and one needs to be
patient and observant.
Many parents are bugged with one child at home. But, they expect the teachers
to take of their child along with other children in much better ways than them.
Next time before complaining about a teacher, please think about this aspect
and then provide your comment. If possible, provide support for them to do
better and better. Don't forget to acknowledge the fact that they are taking
care of children besides their own children.
It is possible to match high IQ with classroom performance provided parents and
teachers work in this direction, Together. Parents must enhance their
skills by learning newer ways to be with children creatively.
