Not all high performers are gifted—and not all gifted students perform highly. In this hands-on, puzzle-packed professional development session, participants will work through an engaging Breakout Box challenge to uncover and examine the key differences between gifted and high-achieving students. As you crack codes and solve clues, you'll also dismantle common myths, sharpen your identification skills, and walk away with practical strategies for supporting both types of learners in your classroom. Get ready to escape the assumptions—and unlock deeper understanding.
