Heading into the Library of Congress to look at some primary source documents. The Jefferson Building is one of the most glorious buildings on the planet.

It needs a big sign that says, "Gifted Kids: Welcome Home. You are Among Friends "

National Ambassador for Young People's Literature for the Library of Congress, Mac Barnett, dissing the ambiguous ending of his book was glorious! He's at the today, and his season was incredible.

He described reading picture books to children as an "art ritual".

So much bookish goodness!

Not all questions are asking for the same thing.

All questions should exist to make students:
🧠 Think
đź’­ Believe
❤️ Feel
🛠️ Do
🚀 Prepare

And if you don’t know which one you’re asking…

your students don’t either.

Tonight I’ll break down:
✔️ how each one is different
✔️ what teachers get wrong
✔️ how to fix your questions immediately

This is one of the most practical shifts you can make in your classroom.

Gifted kids are often obsessed with fairness and justice.

They have yet to meet the hill they won't die on.

And so the blatant unfairness of always expecting them to be the ones whose needs aren't met, who are expected to wait, who are expected to do the work of the whole group, is especially infuriating to them.

It's no surprise many of them resist or even reject school.

It's amazing not all of them do.
