I think the purpose of this is just to remind adults to adopt the mindset that even the most gifted students have room to grow.

Yes, they are already talented, but they can still be challenged in order to reach their full potential. ]]> 2016-09-28 18:45:12 UTC https://padlet.com/amysmith2/7t8dv0x7su4i/wish/127083564 pg. 26 lisaroberts https://padlet.com/amysmith2/7t8dv0x7su4i/wish/127083804 All schools should aspire to maximize the potential of all students.

They are looking for more attention and their needs are going to be better met if they act as though they are in pain.]]> 2016-09-28 18:52:24 UTC https://padlet.com/amysmith2/7t8dv0x7su4i/wish/127086082
