Topic: Gifted Students – Not Just Smart Kids.
Gfted students are often reduced to just "smart" kids. This simplification ignores many interesting aspects of giftedness, including increased levels of moral awareness, unexpected sensitivities, and unique personality types. In this seminar, we will explore some of these less obvious traits of gifted students.
