Definition of Giftedness: Video
Definition of Giftedness:
in BC Education
and Holistically
What if your child was assessed as "Gifted", but you don't really know what that means in British Columbia?
Wendy Wu created this video in collaboration with Dr. Debbie Clelland. The video discusses the definition used within the BC education system, and also a more holistic way of viewing giftedness that includes social-emotional aspects of being gifted and
"asynchronous development".
