I believe many times that the gifted children in our classrooms are overlooked. These children need differenitation and time just as much as another child. The teachers role in working with gifted children is to provide challenging and stimulating experiences---not extra work.
Gifted children are often eager to explore a topic greater depth. Here are some suggestions:
Stock interest areas with interesting and challenging materials.
Follow the child's interests.
Teach to the child's strengths.
Have realistic expectations.
