Description
Passion for learning has been nearly eliminated in our nation’s schools. It seems that we have forgotten how passion fuels a child’s desire to achieve, in favor of teaching everyone to pass minimal skills tests. This trend has been particularly harmful to gifted children, who are systematically muted and crushed in our race to mediocrity. Learn how to bring passion back into the classroom so that all children can develop their gifts. Learn how simple changes in school structures and practices can result in nurturing the brilliance in all students and liberate gifted students to truly reach their full potential.
