And I recommend the book for um all the options and opportunities that they they mention.

I also um hope that students look beyond um the formal educational system to recognize opportunities in their community for coursework outside, maybe coursework at colleges and universities um for younger students and to consider

a variety of options actually that might include extracurricular activities, clubs and organizations that would allow them to explore interests.

Or to um network with

other students maybe of different age levels who have the same passion they do.

So find out about options and opportunities and then most importantly to match them to the student profile.

And to think in terms of

Is this an option you can be successful at?

And just to give you a brief story.

I I realized after reading Karen Rogers' book, because Reforming Gifted Education subtitle is Matching the Program to the Child, that at times in my life as an educator, I had created an option for a student

that m might not have been right for them.

For instance.

Mica

Um was really struggling with math, not because he couldn't do math, but because he didn't have support from home, he didn't have a quiet place to study.

Um he came from a very disadvantaged family that that really didn't know how to help him access the community.

And I knew he could go faster in math, so I put him on a computerized self paced math program.

In a small little um office next to the math department's head where he could get help and support any time he needed it.

And within the first week, instead of doing two years of math

Micah had taken the computer apart.

Which was fascinating.
