Let’s Be Honest: Chaos and Clarity in Education Podcast

Written By Aisha Christa Atkinson

I had an opportunity to talk about #GiftedEducation with exemplary instructional leaders Dr. Linton Atkinson and Dr. John Nash for their “Let’s Be Honest: Chaos and Clarity in Education” podcast. Together, we engaged in a powerful dialogue on the representative spectrum of giftedness, twice exceptionality, and how school leaders and families can navigate alternative opportunities for students when they are unable to participate in PK-12 gifted and talented programming.
