Gifted or Bright?

Yatvin, Joanne

Principal, v63 n3 p14-16 Jan 1984

This essay pinpoints a personality difference between bright children, who learn in order to achieve their own goals, and gifted children, who learn in order to perform worthwhile tasks, and argues against classes segregated by ability, contending that all students' needs are best met in regular classrooms through project teaching.
