Lessons Learned from Working with High-Ability Students
Pfeiffer, Steven I.
Gifted Education International, v29 n1 p86-97 Jan 2013
This article discusses three lessons that stand out as particularly poignant in the author's career working with high-ability students. The author recounts personal and professional experiences that influenced his thinking. The three lessons are that identifying high-ability students is not an easy business, the development of talent requires more than ability, and success requires both head strengths and heart strengths.
