Gifted learners, fueled by their intense curiosity and love of learning, have often challenged their teachers (and parents) to “stay on the cutting edge” of teaching and learning. The very skills that have been staples of gifted education – creative thinking, critical thinking, decision-making and problem-solving, coupled with brain research and today’s amazing technologies, have become increasingly necessary for ALL students in the 21st century. In fact, leading experts believe that creativity and innovation will become the “gold currency” of the future. Join Jackie Drummer for a day of futuristic thinking. Examine skills and habits of mind necessary for today’s students to compete in tomorrow’s world. Come prepared to think, to wonder, to create, to have fun – and to energize your teaching.
