Giftedness can appear in many and sometimes surprising forms in children.  \nIn addition, whilst some HLP children do go on to achieve success as adults, many will not do this without the longer-term support of their parents, carers, teachers or the other professionals in their lives.  \nIn recognition of the need to convey the very real struggles affecting HLP  \nchildren, some of the parents involved in Potential Plus UK decided to come together to write this practical guide to supporting those with high learning potential in school.  \n“Houoeimtniacttynsiedi,’ilieatIrIirownein’dhauaes Siobhain, mum to Noel, Kent  \n4  \nSo just what does high learning potential mean?  \nThat is the million dollar question. It is one on which nobody – whether they are academic, professional, parent, child or policymaker – can completely agree. But the broad consensus is that high learning potential (HLP), or – as it is often called – giftedness, means those who have exceptional ability or give evidence of high learning potential in areas such as intellectual, creative, artistic, or leadership capacity, or in specific academic fields, such as English or science. Definitions of HLP over the years have ranged from the top 2% in terms of IQ (an IQ of 130+) to the top 5–10% in a class or subject area.  \nSome schools separate Gifted from Talented to recognise the different kinds of support they may need, and some schools include able children within this group, or call it something totally different. Since Spring 2012 the Department for Education has used the term “academically more able”.  \nPotential Plus UK defines high learning potential children and young people as those  \n➤ who have been identified as academically more able at school  \n➤ who have the potential to achieve through a wide range of abilities in academic subjects, sport, the arts and leadership  \n➤ who are dual or multiple exceptional (with a high ability coupled with a disability, learning difficulty or asynchronous development)  \n➤ who are profoundly gifted  \nThere are historical reasons for the different uses of terminology by schools, government and professionals; but it doesn’t matter what these children are called. It is just essential that their needs are supported.  \nIn any case, rather than focus on how HLP is defined it is much easier to look atthe characteristics of a child with high learning potential so that behaviours can be spotted in the classroom. Even this is confusing though, as not every child will have all of the characteristics identified, which is why many of these children can appear to be enigmas.  \nAll childr","cbCaikeAXrUzTHjj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikeAXrUzTHjj","pdf",7146328,16,"English","# Why produce a guide to high learning potential?\n## What does ‘high learning potential’ mean?\n## Linda Silverman’s study of giftedness\n## Recognising a high potential learner in your classroom\n## High learning potential – the myths and reality\n## Emotional and behavioural problems associated with high learning potential\n## Dual and multiple exceptionality – what does this mean?","[{\"question\":\"What does “high learning potential” mean in this guide?\",\"answer\":\"High learning potential refers to exceptional ability or evidence of high learning potential in areas such as intellectual, creative, artistic, leadership capacity, or specific academic fields.
