“A ‘gifted’ diagnosis is often solely based on intelligence and achievement. Identifying giftedness according to these criteria alone assumes that the defining characteristics of giftedness are ability and intellect.” https://t.co/9JzBYihIH4

Perfectionism & giftedness often go hand in hand!

@dalilou79 Such a great way to increase depth- so important for advanced students! Adding complexity fits right into Humanities also (how topics have changed over time, how topics connect across the curriculum (math, science, etc), & viewing topics from different perspectives/ lenses)!

[Lisa Davis @_Lisacdavis]

This one is for my fellow Educators! What is your favorite extension for gifted/advanced learners to challenge & engage them in the classroom? (Strategy, resource, etc) And go! 🧠

[Lisa Davis @_Lisacdavis]

Yes! 👏

“The innate qualities of mind that are found in gifted children do not disappear as the children grow up.”

[SENG @SENG_Gifted]

"The experience of the gifted adult is the experience of an unusual consciousness, an extraordinary mind whose perceptions...require an extraordinary courage." Read more from Stephanie Tolan in this article from the #SENG library: https://t.co/2OEYDbOVrb

[SENG @SENG_Gifted]

When a gifted student is underperforming, there is probably more to the story than simple laziness. They could actually be struggling with perfectionism, an undiagnosed learning disability, or other issues. Have you experienced this with your own child? #ShareWithSENG
