“…The regular classroom teachers will need to equip themselves with strategies like flexible grouping, opportunity for advanced level projects, modifications in the curriculum among others (Westberg and Archambault, 1997). In India, large classroom sizes and unrealistic student teacher ratios are a deterrent for teachers and school administrators to meet the needs of gifted learners (Roy, 2017). Furthermore, Aditya’s advanced ability is not recognized by his current teachers, nor have they understood his need for high stimulation.…”

“…Gifted children show distinct characteristics and have unique educational needs as compared to their non-gifted peers (Peterson, 2009; Robinson and Clinkenbeard, 1998; Winebrenner, 2000). In India, amid the challenges of diversity, a large population, and limitation of resources, gifted children have received little attention (Kurup and Maithreyi, 2012; Roy, 2017). In fact, the potential of gifted children remains dormant as our education system does not provide any opportunity to identify and nurture this potential.…”

India is currently focusing on providing education for all, and special population like the gifted is being neglected. This is evident in the case of Aditya (IQ 145), a 7-year-old boy, and his parents who after discovering that their child is gifted attempt to meet his unique educational needs. Despite evidence of Aditya qualifying in examination two grades above his age level, the school authorities neither offer acceleration nor provide appropriate resources. This study attempts to delineate the importance of combined efforts of parent, school, and the community in nurturing gifted children. Finally, the researcher makes a few recommendations for parents: (i) create support groups to share parenting experiences; (ii) explore online and local learning resources to educate themselves about giftedness and nurture their children; and (iii) identify mentors in the community or other parents who can support in meeting the educational needs of these children.

One of the tasks of the modern educational system is to develop and support talented young people. One way of it could be the subject Olympiads for schoolchildren, which contribute to the professional orientation of students and their future success in life increasing students interest in science as well as developing their creative potential and cognitive activity. The experience of carrying out various stages of the All-Russian Biological Olympiad for schoolchildren in Biology showed that in order to achieve high results, participants of the Olympiad need a methodically sound system of training camps and advice from specialists in various fields of Biology. The paper summarizes long-term experience of organizing a practical tour of the regional stage of the All-Russian Olympiad for schoolchildren in Biology at the department of General biology and Physiology of the South Ural State Humanitarian Pedagogical University. The authors present methodological recommendations aimed at improving schoolchildren training for a practical tour of the regional stage of the All-Russian Olympiad in Biology (room Human Biology, grade 9), including a description of typical mistakes made by participants in the Olympiad, an algorithm for performing practical tasks on microscopy of histological preparations, criteria for differentiating histological objects, examples of Olympiad tasks with a matrix of answers.
