\n<\/strong>Giftedness is not merely about being an \u2018Einstein\u2019 and having an IQ score >130. Among students as well as among teachers confusion exist about giftedness. There is no clear definition, while there are many assumptions about giftedness, like the idea that a student should only achieve high grades and never get stuck at university. In fact, giftedness is not only mental acuity or cognitive ability, but it is a set of characteristics, including also sensitivity, doubt and setting (too) ambitious bars. Although gifted students mention the same problems as their peer students, an extra layer of complexity is added because of these characteristics and this can influence their personal well-being and academic performance in a negative way.<\/p>\n\n
\n\u2026have insight into the different struggles and associated underlying processes that gifted people may encounter.
\n\u2026understand which aspects may support gifted students and how you as a mentor\/tutor\/teacher etc. can be of value in the guidance of these students.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/edlab.nl\/slottr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/anke-smeenk_foto-2022-200x300.jpg\")
