Links from Liz Selander Hutchins' Seminar, "How Well Do You Know Your Gifted Child?"

Thank you to all who attended the March 24 seminar co-sponsored by CANDO and BPS101. Liz Selander Hutchins' presentation, “How Well Do You Know Your Gifted Child?” identified a cluster of characteristics common to gifted learners, dispelled prevalent myths about gifted students, and provided a number of suggestions and strategies to work successfully with and nurture this unique population of students. In addition, Ms. Hutchins shared valuable insights from her many years of experience working with gifted students while teaching at BPS101, and invited parent discussion to share strategies that have helped their children with some of the challenges associated with giftedness. We hope you were able to join us and benefit from Ms. Hutchins' considerable expertise.

Below are links to some of the books and resources that she mentioned.

• Genius Denied by Jan and Bob Davidson
• Some of My Best Friends Are Books by Judith Wynn Halsted
• articles by Sylvia Rimm on giftedness and underachievement

We hope to offer more such seminars in the future!
