Personal Characteristics of Highly Capable Students
Personal Characteristics of Highly Capable Students
Highly capable children are very unique. They have different interests, different personalities and different areas of high ability. However, these children also share certain traits. It is the degree to which they exhibit these traits that sets them apart.
It is important to understand that gifted students have special needs. A partnership between parents, teachers and administrators is encouraged. Without sharing responsibility and developing a deep understanding of these unique children, we will miss a great opportunity. Hartland Schools invites you to join in meeting this challenge.
