Student Resources

If you are a gifted student looking for some inspiration, check out some of these sites:

• New to gifted education? Perhaps try this link - Definitions of Giftedness
• or maybe dive a little deeper with - "What Do You Know About Gifted Education"
• So you think you might be weird?  No - you're just very very special - learn about Dabrowkski's 5 Overexcitabilities (details here from SENG, simple examples here) (well, it's probable you're a bit quirky ;-)
• Have you heard about changing your brain for the better?  There is a lot to learn about Mindfulness...
• are you frustrated that people don't understand your ideas?  You're not the first, take a gander at Plato's Allegory of the Cave, and what it might mean - does it sound like things that happen to you?
• oh, and just because you're amazing at something doesn't mean you have to master it... multipotentialites know there's so much to explore, Oh the places you'll go!
• and if you're into being in smart people clubs, MENSA might be for you...
• Or maybe you're just interested in learning more about different kinds of personalities!
• The Library has lots of resources, puzzles, and books as well.
• Do things come easy to you? Probably - but that doesn't mean you shouldn't consider working very hard at things you want to become an expert in - see what Harvard has to say about becoming an expert
