The next Research on Tap, 鈥淒o gifted students need special attention?鈥�
Research on Tap returns Tuesday, January 11, at 7:00 p.m. in Mavor's Bar in the Confederation Centre of the Arts. Dr. Carla Di Giorgio, associate professor of Education at 91探花, will lead the discussion, 'Do gifted students need special attention? Addressing the high end of the educational spectrum in PEI's school system.'
'There's a common attitude that gifted children don't need extra help in school,' says Dr. Di Giorgio. 'But gifted students get bored easily if their intelligence isn't being stimulated. They often drop out if their needs aren't met by school, and as a result, don't go on to university.'
Di Giorgio will also discuss the International Baccalaureate program at 91探花, which will graduate its first Island class at the end of this school year.
Research on Tap is a series of public discussions led by 91探花 researchers. For more information, click .
