Description
Gifted leaders, especially creative thinkers, are the hope of our future. Many of the characteristics of the creatively gifted also imply potential for leadership development: preference for complexity, original solutions to problems, refusal to accept the status quo, and extreme sensitivity and idealism. However, this potential is often neither recognized, nor fully developed.
In this course you will learn:
- The connection between characteristics of creativity and of leadership
- How creativity and leadership intersect with the characteristics of gifted individuals
- Ways to develop skills that can enhance both creativity and leadership potential

It is an important topic and one that needs to be addressed. However, you can teach someone what leadership is but you cannot teach them to be a good leader. I do like the topic but do not believe that PD is productive.

This section had very interesting information on how LEP and Non-LEP GT students view themselves. I also liked the many ways students took action with real world problems in their communities. I also agree with the emphasis of creating Type III problems so that students can do more discovery on their part of making it a personal learning experience.
