DB Question 1: What should be considered when selecting teachers to work with the gifted and talented? Are there behaviors and characteristics found in teachers that serve these students better? It is often said that teaching is a calling. If this is true, what type of commitment might one need to teach these individuals? Include citations from Scripture, your text, and the assigned peer-reviewed article to support your thread comments.
