    Long Island School for the Gifted-The Gifted Student's Perspective

    In this episode - three students share personal experiences on being gifted, the standards they aspire to, and how a gifted education helped shape them. This episode is particularly dear to me- I hope to provide insight from a student's perspective to fuel a deeper understanding of neurodivergent learners and ignite the momentum for gifted education. I also had the pleasure of teaching these three Gifted students in the NYS Living Environment course at Long Island School for the Gifted and learned from them as much as they did from me.
