Personal Philosophy of Giftedness:
All students have the ability to learn and should be provided with opportunities to reach maximum levels of growth. Children who posses high intellectual ability, exceptional creativity and problem-solving skills, leadership potential, character, perseverance, and commitment to extending their knowledge to reach their full potential exhibit characteristics of giftedness. My philosophy of giftedness is based on these and additional connected factors that combine together to provide students additional services, challenges, and opportunities to continue to develop into their best selves in the future.
