Description
Throughout history, children have been educated at home. Recently, however, more and more parents are choosing homeschooling for their GT children. This is a unique opportunity for GT children, yet very little research has been completed on this exclusive programming option. This session provides an overview of a current homeschooling situation that has proven to be successful with three elementary-aged siblings. Homeschooling allows for individual programming for GT students. Their program of study, curriculum options, and extra-curricular plan are discussed.
