An Insider's Perspective: Teachers Observations of Creative Thinking in Exceptional Children.

LaFrance, Edith B.

Roeper Review, v16 n4 p256-57 Jun 1994

Interviews with 30 Ontario (Canada) elementary teachers revealed that teachers were aware of many characteristics of gifted, learning-disabled (LD), and gifted LD children and were aware of similarities in cognitive and creative abilities in gifted and gifted LD children. They were less aware of creative thinking characteristics of LD children. (Author/JDD)
