Description
Since 2009, gifted and talented elementary through high school students have been submitting their best work to the Torrance Legacy Awards. In honor of creativity pioneer, E. Paul Torrance, the project recognizes exceptional young writers and artists from all parts of the country and even overseas. Five facilitators share their experiences as sponsors for the competition and provide insight into the process through the creative submissions of contestants. The session also explores how teachers can involve their students in the competition as well as how they can inspire and support creative composition in their own classrooms.
No items are available for this session.
