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".
