GT: Nature and Needs … Cutting the Diamond
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
When our gifted diamonds emerge from the earth, they are rough and
unrefined. Come join our exploration as we go from the mine to the
classroom. Our time together will be exploring the historical and legal
understandings of gifted diamonds, cognitive, social, and emotional
characteristics, along with services that can be used to meet the varying
academic needs of our gifted diamonds.

hours of your time. These will be posted on the Gifted and Talented
