21st century student outcomes describe the skills, knowledge, and expertise students must master to succeed in work and life. Those who can think critically and communicate effectively must build on a base of core academic subject knowledge. Creativity and innovation, critical thinking and problem solving, and communication and collaboration are the skills needed to prepare for an increasingly complex life and work environment. But what about those special populations of gifted students who have gaps in these areas, what do we do for them? This session is devoted to answering that question by offering lessons and strategies needed to fill those gaps and that are culturally responsive to the students served.
