Leadership Education: Resources and Web Sites for Teachers of Gifted Students
Amy Bisland, Frances A. Karnes, and Yolanda Baker Cobb
Leadership has been included in the federal definition of gifted and talented since 1972. However, it remains an area that many teachers and schools do not nurture (Karnes & Riley, 1996). Many students are offered the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities, but it is typical to see no formal instruction on leadership concepts and skills in school. Students with potential in leadership should be identified as early as elementary school in order to allow their skills to develop (Hensel, 1991). Characteristics typical of students gifted in leadership at the elementary level include interacting easily with both peers and adults, adapting to new situations, high verbal skills,and sensitivity to the needs and feelings of others (Hensel).
