If you’re kind, honest, and a hard worker... you’ll end up being a great human. The academic standards are important... but it’s also cool when educators can find ways to reinforce this other stuff.
Gifted individuals tend to be more sensitive to their surroundings - this is especially true for those that experience #overexcitabilities. Bad weather can really impact how we feel day to day. Are you enjoying the summer weather, or do you prefer cooler seasons?

So, Mom calls me now at 15:00 saying ‘Happy birthday, I decided to call you now at the exact time when you were born forty years ago’.

It is important that the #gifted community recognize and appreciate giftedness at every age. Our #gifted elders are vibrant, capable and full of wisdom. They need to be given every opportunity to shine.
A school culture that values and celebrates innovation begins with a leader who is willing to climb out on a limb.
You do not become awesome by staying safe all the time.

Yes I will give a student a second, third, forth.......chance! As many chances as it takes for a child to succeed! That’s my job, that’s what I signed up for - to be the difference, to go one more round! #relentless
I remember as a teacher that I didn't always agree with what my administrators did or said.
I often thought to myself, 'What were they thinking?' In my mind, it always seemed simple & straight-forward.
Now, I realize there was often more to the story than I knew.
Truth: The relationships among the adults within a school have a significant & far reaching impact on the quality & overall success of the #school.
Be the kind of team member you want to work alongside.

If there is one thing that must be decolonized it is this parade of feathers called the State of the Nation. Quite pathetic the display of wealth against a background of poverty and inequality
Giftedness does not diminish as we grow older! Gifted adults and elders may not be students anymore, but their giftedness still has profound effects on them and their lives.
