Description
Profoundly gifted students (i.e., 99.9th percentile score on ability tests) need accelerated, individualized educational opportunities to accommodate their exceptional cognitive and academic accomplishments. The Davidson Academy and the Davidson Fellows program support the development of such students. Attendees learn about the positive impacts of being recognized as a Davidson Fellow, the case histories of Fellows in the STEM disciplines, and the positive outcomes of large dosages of educational experiences. Attendees hear about an in-progress project exploring how participating in the unique climate of the Davidson Academy benefits Academy students' personal and academic growth.
