About the event
This session will help create awareness regarding supporting gifted and talented students by busting myths about them and around gifted education. The talk will focus on 3 myths:
- All gifted individuals are high achievers
- Gifted individuals do not face problems and challenges
- Gifted individuals don't need extra support to succeed.
