We have all heard the notion that we are preparing our students for jobs that do not yet exist, and while we may not know what tomorrow holds, today’s technologies have opened up new pathways for success. Gifted students' characteristics make them uniquely suited not only to follow these paths but to create entirely new paths. Join us as we explore examples of new types of careers and the new tools that make them possible. Together we investigate the essential skills necessary for future success and how we might adjust our classrooms to better prepare students for the world of tomorrow.
