    Think Different.

    by Caroline Daniel April 15, 2021
    by Caroline Daniel April 15, 2021

    In honor of National Poetry Month, I wanted to share a short poem titled, “Here’s to the Crazy Ones” by Jack Kerouac.   Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.…

    by Caroline Daniel March 30, 2021
    by Caroline Daniel March 30, 2021

    It’s at this time of the year that I begin having an itch to see some color around the house and outdoors. I don’t consider myself having a green thumb, but I enjoy filling up the pots in the front of my house with flowers to celebrate the season! Have you thought about how gifted students feel when they get the chance to solve a problem or utilize their talent…

    by Caroline Daniel March 12, 2021

    In March, we tend to focus on the concept of luck, specifically the luck of the Irish with St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. But have you ever thought of the luck of gifted, academically talented, and creative students have with academic experiences? Although it may appear that these students are lucky to have remarkable intellect and talent, you will be surprised at how unlucky many of these students are in receiving appropriate educational…

    Advocacy in a Time of Need

    by Caroline Daniel March 1, 2021
    by Caroline Daniel March 1, 2021

    For some, the idea of a gifted child awakens a sense of empathy for unique learners who live and cope with asynchronous development. Others may think of a student that lacks diversity in school settings.  And finally, others may see “gifted” as either a label or a badge of honor.  The term ‘gifted’ has different meanings to different people but for those children who live their life being gifted, it…

    Understanding Gifted Needs in Academic Settings

    by Caroline Daniel February 12, 2021
    by Caroline Daniel February 12, 2021

    When you think of gifted learners, who comes to mind? A specific movie character, person, or your own child? For me, the first image that pops up are the characters from X-Men. They are such a unique group of teenagers who have special abilities with grand dreams of pursuing harmony, peace, and equality within multiple dimensions. Although I don’t mean to compare gifted students to highly skilled mutants, their unique…
