To DEVELOP STUDENT TALENT

Page 13: Bringing out the talent in your child by Maryann Woods-Murphy Gifted and Talented Specialist

We develop student talent by helping them to investigate real problems…

The young person thinking,feeling, and doing like thepracticing professional...

Children can do great things that are similar to the work of adult scientists, writers and film makers, in their own way!

1. Personalization of the problem

2. Use of authentic methodology

3. Developed to have an impact on a real audience (other than or in addition to the teacher)

But what makes a problem real?
