I found this video to be extremely informative about the social emotional needs of GT students because authentic and identified, GT individuals are interviewed and included in the video segments. The video shows the challenges surrounding teaching GT students in addition to the difficulties a persona has being Gifted and Talented.
In this video, Joao Paulo (a GT student who has been expelled for difficulties interacting with his teachers) discusses, first hand his struggles socially in school. A GT specialist in the video addresses some techniques for helping the social emotional issues related to GT kids, including:
1. early identification
2. specialized help to educate GT students and understand how people learn differently (promoting tolerance and understanding for their peers and helping them to understand their own unique, talented minds)
3. Differentiated, challenging instruction.
The article below, made a nice compiled list of common Social Emotional GT student social emotional characteristics:
