Educational technology is defined by the Association for Educational Communications and Technology as "the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using, and managing appropriate technological processes and resources".

Intellectual giftedness is an intellectual ability significantly higher than average.

It is a characteristic of children, variously defined, that motivates differences in school programming.

It is thought to persist as a trait into adult life, with various consequences studied in longitudinal studies of giftedness over the last century.

There is no generally agreed definition of giftedness for either children or adults, but most school placement decisions and most longitudinal studies over the course of individual lives have been based on IQ in the top 2 percent of the population, that is above IQ 130.

In education, a curriculum (plural: curricula or curriculums) is broadly defined as the totality of student experiences that occur in the educational process.

The term often refers specifically to a planned sequence of instruction, or to a view of the student's experiences in terms of the educator's or school's instructional goals.

In a 2003 study Reys, Reys, Lapan, Holliday and Wasman refer to curriculum as a set of learning goals articulated across grades that outline the intended mathematics content and process goals at particular points in time throughout the K–12 school program.

Curriculum may incorporate the planned interaction of pupils with instructional content, materials, resources, and processes for evaluating the attainment of educational objectives.

Curriculum is split into several categories, the explicit, the implicit (including the hidden), the excluded and the extra-curricular.

Eighth grade is the term used for the year of education in some countries.

In other countries, the equivalent is Year 9.

Students are usually in their eighth year of education at the time they enter eighth grade.

It is typically the last year for Middle school, and the ninth school year of public and private education, following kindergarten and subsequent grades.

Similar terms, for example Grade 8, are used in other countries (see below).

Pre-kindergarten (also called Pre-K or PK) is a classroom-based preschool program for children at or below the age of five in the United States, Canada and Turkey (when kindergarten starts).

It may be delivered through a preschool or within a reception year in elementary school.

Pre-kindergartens play an important role in early childhood education.

They have existed in the US since 1922, normally run by private organizations.

The U.S. Head Start program, the country's first federally funded pre-kindergarten program, was founded in 1967.

This attempts to prepare children (especially disadvantaged children) to succeed in school.
