Course Description

Gifted students, by virtue of their “special status” may fall prey to behaviors that put them at risk for not “meeting school expectations”, which is the definition of underachievement. Since there is no guarantee that they have the habits to achieve according to their own goals either, they will likely miss out on opportunities that would assist them in moving ahead as might be expected of students who may inhabit the same classes, complete the work as assigned and meet the school’s and their own expectations. This makes for considerable confusion for their teachers.
