Definition of Gifted and Talented
"Giftedness" refers to a student’s outstanding ability in one or more domains (eg. Intellectual, creative, socioemotional, or sensorimotor). "Talent" refers to outstanding performance in one or more fields within these domains (eg. writing,mathematics, science, astronomy, sculpture, athletics, language). That is, talent emerges from giftedness as a consequence of the students learning experience.
