Gifted education, also referred to as Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) or Talented and Gifted (TAG), and refers to the broad set of practices, pedagogy and theories used when teaching students who have been identified as “gifted” or “talented.” Domains include any structured area of activity (e.g., mathematics, music, language) and/or set of sensorimotor skills (e.g., painting, dance, and sports).”
