What does gifted potential look like beyond high grades and academic achievement? How can we recognize the creative thinkers, problem-solvers, innovators, and emerging leaders sitting in our classrooms—and, more importantly, how can we help them grow?
In this course, you'll explore the connections between giftedness, creativity, and leadership and discover practical ways to nurture these abilities in your students. Through engaging research, real-world student examples, and ready-to-use instructional strategies, you'll learn how to move beyond traditional expectations and create meaningful opportunities for students to think creatively, take initiative, solve problems, and make an impact. You'll also explore ways to connect gifted learning to classroom instruction, academic competitions, leadership organizations, special courses, and other opportunities that help students turn their potential into meaningful contributions.
