Does giftedness mean academic performance ONLY?

While there is a growing interest in the wider society about giftedness, intelligence and radical acceleration, there isn't much development in promoting the understanding of how and why the gifted individuals think and feel about themselves and the community.  

In 27th July, Jo was invited to present about UNDERSTANDING the Gifted in the 2008 HK Book Fair. The key ideas of her presentation is NOW available for download.  

Jo is excited about the positive feedback and enthusiasm of the audience towards the development and wellbeing of the gifted individuals.  In addition, the presentation of Dr. Eunice Wong, as always, provides us a thought provoking perspective to understand the nested but interrelated structure of the (cake) layers of human development.  Her nested model actually promotes our understanding of the entry point of intervention.  Last but not the least, special thanks to the Yellow Bus, especially Helena Hui, Mable & Cherris Chan, making the activity so smooth and successful.  Wait and see when the Yellow Bus will come again and bring you good news about caring our children and their parents.  Bye for now.
