I teach 7th grade science in Texas. We have a large community of gifted students. One of our goals is to continue to enrich their learning experience and develop their leadership abilities. Gifted students need as much attention as we give anyone else. We try to ensure that they walk away from our classrooms with the skills and confidence for any challenge they will face and help them to succeed and be the leaders we know that they can be.
