Many gifted students have a propensity for idealism and sense of justice which may lead to intense feelings resulting from an asynchronous lack of awareness. We identify four universal concepts where students delve more deeply into their multidimensional identities and awareness of others to shift from cognitive to compassionate empathy, potentially manifesting in creative action.

Learning Objectives:

Implement social-emotional learning and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion concepts through an integrated approach that allows students to immerse themselves in identity development, global diversity, and social awareness
Delve into the neuroplasticity of the adolescent gifted brain
