GIFTED EDUCATION

I am currently attending Arizona State University, where I am getting my master's degree in Gifted Education: Curriculum and Instruction. I am the mother of seven children, all of whom fall somewhere on the gifted/talented spectrum. Parenting a gifted child is difficult, and oftentimes these unique struggles and challenges are met with disdain, disagreement, or intolerance from others. Here are a few posts I've written, targeting some of the challenges faced by gifted kids and the parents who love them.

A series of five posts that focus on gifted education:

A Few of My Thoughts on Education

Academically Gifted vs. Intellectually Gifted

Public Education and the Intellectually Gifted

Society and the Gifted

Learning vs. Education--Where Do We Go from Here?

    I have followed your blog for quite some time, can't even remember how I found it. I was linked to another blog post about gifted children/students and didn't know if you have seen it. Hope you find it interesting. http://teacheryconfessions.blogspot.com/2015/02/9-things-i-wish-people-knew-about.html
