We make assumptions based on what we can see. We make judgments in response to our own experiences and our own biases. But we don't know what our students are living with.

I think there should be more opportunities in our curriculum for all students to be provided with the tools to create. Every student can create something. We may be missing identifying students because we are only looking about their math/ela abilities. There are many different identifiers of giftedness and with creativity being one of them, we can help to identify more students when we provide them with the tools (and opportunities) to create. ]]> 2021-07-27 20:20:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jcasey69/j0sehqvscheisl5f/wish/1662415367 Everyone has genius! https://padlet.com/jcasey69/j0sehqvscheisl5f/wish/1662415762 Let's make it a goal to look for the greatness in each student that we see!
