Giftedness is complicated. By itself, it can be difficult to find curriculum, activities, or hobbies that will consistently engage gifted kids. How do you find the "Goldilocks Zone?" Jim Delisle and Emily Kircher-Morris talked about it, and we're bringing you that conversation again because it's as pertinent now as ever. Beneath the Surface of Giftedness, on episode 132.

Also, here's a link to our continuing education and professional development course for school district gifted/twice-exceptional programs. It's a 15-hour, 6-module course called "Strategies for Supporting Twice-Exceptional Students," by Emily Kircher-Morris. Learn more and get it for your district at Neurodiversity University.
