Gifted but Social Misfit Discussion – Description
In our popular media individuals who are gifted are often portrayed as nerds or eccentrics who are unable to fit into society. Before participating in this week’s discussion conduct research in Keiser’s online library to find an article that describes the characteristics of students who are gifted, creative, or talented.
Based on your findings discuss the following questions:
Does the research confirm that individuals who are gifted are social misfits?
What characteristics did your article give for students who are gifted?
How do students who are gifted relate to their peers?
Do these students face any particular social challenges because of their giftedness? If so what are those challenges?
After completing your research, review the “How Grade Skipping Changed Everything” on page 417 in our textbooks and think about if you were a guidance counselor working with these students and their parents, what recommendations would you have made? Do situations always turn out the way indicated in the book? Make sure to support your decision with information you gained from the text and/or your research. Finally make sure to provide the reference for the article(s) you used for this discussion.
