4.6.4 Developing the Talent of Students
Learning to know, do, collaborate, and be are the four key dimensions of education. We need to shift our focus to developing the talent of students in our classrooms. Play, passion, and purpose are three components of education that help develop talent. Adoption of Montessori philosophy, which promotes play and freedom to explore, emergent curriculum, and multiple intelligences will help develop talent. GEAR is a living model that helps with talent development.
