Introduction

The primary purpose of this site is to fulfill a course requirement. In addition, I will convince my instructor that I have grown in the area of understanding giftedness and gifted learners; that gifted students’ characteristics are displayed in behavior and intellect; that there are a variety of identification assessments and one size does not fit all; understanding the different gifted educational services and programs that are designed to enrich students; exposing myself to the social, emotional and educational needs of gifted students; my personal discovery that creativity and problem solving are connected; and recognizing the embarrassing number of underachieving gifted learners in our community.
