CALL TO ACTION: Making Gifted Education Relevant Today
June 22, 2011
This title is actually the title of a blog post by Deborah Mersino from the USA. Her post looks at what she feels is the current state of gifted education in the US. She suggests that a new push is needed to get things rolling again, to provide better resources and training for all educators. It needs to be for all.
Deborah sets out her 'top five suggestions for making gifted education relevant in today's world. Take a look at these straightforward, yet radical ideas and tell me what you think. Comment, argue, debate and/or agree. The time to crowdsource is upon us.'
Her thoughts make fascinating reading, whether you agree or not. Check out this article at http://www.ingeniosus.net/archives/call-to-action-making-gifted-education-relevant-today
