Developing Self-Understanding and
Resilience in Gifted Students:
A Unit for Upper Elementary and Secondary Gifted Learners, provides a series of lessons, each with a variety of group and independent activities, to assist teachers and specialists in gifted education in meeting the social and emotional needs of this special population of learners. Each lesson is centered around a common question of gifted students, such as "What is giftedness and what is it not?" and "How do I advocate for myself with teachers, principals, etc. when I’m bored?" Through the course of the unit, students also develop higher order thinking and research skills with a long-term project in which they investigate the life of a gifted individual of their choice.
Just an amazing resource. I'm so pleased to have found this. Thank you so very much.

I've worked with gifted kids for 20 years, and this unit really addresses social and emotional issues specific to the gifted. I wish I'd had something like this long ago!

I'm interested in this document, but when I download it, the words are gibberish! Any suggestions?

I'm not entirely sure what to recommend. I've never had that problem before. What program are you using to download? The Affective unit is a Word document - do you have this on your computer? It is also .doc, not .docx, which some new word programs use. You could try converting it to rich text format (.rtf) and see if that would help.
