Developing Leadership Skills in Young Gifted Students

Amy Bisland

As society grows into a more cooperative society, the importance of finding emerging leaders has become crucial. Not only should these potential leaders be identified, but also their talents need the opportunity to develop. As a result, leadership education continues to be a concern in gifted education. However, it remains an abstract concept that is often ignored in school curricula (Karnes & Stephens, 1999). Many districts do not equate leadership education with traditional academic education, and teachers often do not receive proper training in leadership skill development. Consequently, students are given limited opportunities to develop their potential.
