Giftedness should not be a bad word or something to fret—be it by the student, the teacher, the school administration, or the family. Changing this negative mindset should be a goal of every classroom. Ways exist to celebrate intelligence that do not make the gifted student feel singled out or elitist. This session will share ways to help gifted students, their families, and their schools feel proud of their accomplishments and/or skills. Educators will have time to share some of their own ideas with others as well.
