Gifted Workshop(s) Series:
Program Models That Support High-Ability Learners
Facilitated by gifted specialists from Northwestern's Center for Talent Development
One-size-fits-all approaches to identifying and serving gifted students are increasingly poor fits
for schools with growing diversity. Contemporary views of gifted education and talent
development recognize that ability is multifaceted and malleable and that “gifted students” are
extremely diverse in their backgrounds and learning needs.
