I am in my 7th year of teaching, and year four of teaching Gifted and Talented Education (GaTE). After teaching 2nd grade and Kindergarten for three years, it was time for a change! I pursued my Masters of Science in Gifted Education and haven't looked back! It was the best career change I could have asked for. I'm finally in a position where I am free to teach what I want, guided by our Gifted standards, which promote thinking, creativity, and executive skills! It's what learning and teaching was always meant to be!
