Conceptions about Giftedness
•The cream does not always rise to the top
•Gifted children need support as much as any other exceptional student
•Giftedness is often misdiagnosed
•Gifted students are often happy and well-adjusted

Good Grief!!!
The dramatization you are about to see has been hailed as an educational breakthrough by the highest pedagogical thinkers of the day. It represents all you will ever need to know about gifted students.
Take note of the profundity in which students engage in the task at hand. Their differing approaches to the task clearly explicate their styles of learning, their synthesis of thought and assimilation of concepts to develop highly complex thought and expression patterns.
We shall hence attempt to determine the gifted nature of the players.
Inspirational Quote by Gifted Student
“Gifted students hate school because school is a sucking quagmire of mediocrity”
MOE Definition of Giftedness
A gifted student is defined as having
“an unusually advanced degree of general intellectual ability that requires differentiated learning experiences of a depth and breadth beyond those normally provided in the regular school program to satisfy the level of educational potential indicated.”
