How can we inspire and hold space for gifted and talented kids to express their creativity?    In this episode of the Fueling Creativity in Education podcast, Dr. Cyndi Burnett and Dr. Matthew Worwood speak with Dr. Joseph Renzulli, a world-renowned leader and pioneer in gifted education, creativity, and gifted teaching strategies. Joseph is here to share insights from his research along with why we should care about the spectrum of giftedness in our society.   Listen in to learn Joseph's take on the relationship between giftedness and creativity, how to bring more creative giftedness into the classroom, and the greatest barriers to us increasing the number of people reaching their creative potential within their field. He also talks about the Renzulli Learning system, how it works, and how it's benefitting thousands of educators across the world.   “Training teachers is the key to so much of this and, of course, there has to be some administrative support for it.”  – Dr. Joseph Renzulli   Plu, Joseph breaks down his “Creative Idea Generator” method, how to apply “curriculum compacting” to accommodate gifted students, and how parents can facilitate creativity and learning outside of the classroom. Then, he highlights his biggest fear regarding the future of gifted education and where we need to focus our energy in the coming years.   Are you an educator who wants to learn and do more in the field of gifted education? Tune in to learn how to participate in the virtual Confratute learning experience held in July at the University of Connecticut!   Joseph's Tips for Teachers and Parents: Work with the school library to set up a section dedicated for “how-to” books. Utilize basic ideas that are quick to read/learn about. Long lectures or videos are going to lead kids to lose interest. Ask open-ended questions every single day.   Resources Mentioned: Article: What Makes Giftedness?: Reexamining a Definition Learn more about Renzulli Learning Listen to the episode with Dr. Sally Reis No Child Left Bored by Sally Reis Register for Confratute at UConn!
