The latest issue of Gifted Education News-Page (APRIL-MAY 2008 Issue) for gifted students and their teachers:
This is our 100th issue since the first one in July 1991. We celebrate the writings of Dr. Michael Walters on humanities education for gifted students by presenting excerpts from some of his previous essays. He has consistently emphasized rigor, substance and subject matter content in educating gifted students as compared to popular “tricky dog” (personal communication) approaches – i.e., thoughtless PowerPoint bullets and flow charts used to train teachers of the gifted and their students. Excerpts from the following essays are included in this issue:
