Keynote: What Works with Gifted Kids: Combining Solid Research with Seat-of-the-Pants Experience

 

     Is it perseverance, practicality, or patience?  Are there any answers in the research to help parents as they respond to their child’s 1,000th question of the day?  What do studies of talent development tell us?  How important is it for a child to have a full schedule of extracurricular activities?  And what has been learned through research on expertise?  The focus will be on providing high-ability children with a firm foundation for developing their abilities into life skills.
