WHAT IS GIFTEDNESS?

8/24/2016

Thomas Edison described genius as one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration. Dr. Renzulli defined giftedness as having above average intelligence, creativity, and the ability to delay closure. That means to be able to keep working on something until it’s the best you can do.
 
Giftedness is not something simply bestowed by our genes or a magic wand.
These traits can be developed in yourself and fostered in others. Your I.Q. changes with the work you invest in learning. Creativity increases when you experiment. Commit to making something the best it can be and you have the third trait: a willingness to keep working.

I was certified to teach students identified as gifted. Identify your passions, for this is often where your gifts are.

Art and music stimulate the mind and are important parts of the school curriculum. Students of all ages benefit from opportunities to be creative.  Adult brains are flexible.  

The brain needs exercise as much as any other part of our body. Reading, writing, sewing, drawing, building, etc. help our minds more than watching TV. Our I.Q. increases and decreases with our efforts.

The Dragon Dreamer series has a character with a gift, but this is meaningless until he pursues a dream with planning and 
 persistence.
