Abstract

This study aims at: Identifying the degree to which the teachers of gifted/ talented students (G/T teachers') possess the skills and knowledge approved by the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC). The study instruments were administered among the teachers of pioneer centers for gifted students; in addition to the teachers of resource rooms in the different governorates across Jordan. The study population consisted of (220) male and female teachers; whereas the study sample included only (100) male and female teachers operating in both the private and governmental schools and pioneer centers in all governorates of Jordan. The results of the study question indicate that the teachers enjoy a high degree of the concerned standards on the scale as a whole (the overall degree). The researcher pointed out in this study to the importance of taking care of the assessment and evaluation issues concerning the G/ T teachers; besides creating and developing specific measures that are especially designated to assess the competencies of the other categories' teachers within the private education field.
