Description
The study of Latin has always been regarded as the gold standard for those who could and should pursue serious studies that would enhance both verbal capacity and understanding of the human condition. Should gifted students study Latin? The answer is an enthusiastic and well-documented, Yes! Unfortunately traditional Latin courses are difficult to find. Nevertheless teachers of gifted students are returning to Latin as appropriate curriculum extension for their students. This session will explore how these teachers can implement the study of Latin in sound curriculum planning for gifted students.
