Gifted and Talented?

There's an interesting article on the New York Times learning network which talks about a new book by David Shenk.

The book certainly looks interesting. It takes a look at research about the impact of genetics on learning and addresses some of the myths that have formed around "gifted and talented" learners.

Here's the link:

  1. Thanks, David. I have always been interested in this concept, especially since my masters is in Ed Psych. I will pick it up!
