7. Delighted Alumni…
• Sample schools represented in our Programs Safety/ Security
I haven’t sent the kid anywhere alone as yet so the
safety and security concerns were of utmost
concern on my evaluation criteria. And I must say
that Genwise excelled in them. The kids were
never left alone, there were supervisors at all
points in time, always tracking the kids.
Course Content
The first part of the day is spent in subject matter
and the second part in co-curriculars. The course
content delivery faculty is very good and the co-
curriculars are fantastic.
Accessibility
The team were always accessible for any queries,
big or small.
All in all, I can sum it up by saying that I wish I had
sent Advit for a longer time. (They went out of
their way in many ways to accommodate him.)
And I wish I had known of them earlier. I would
have sent him on multiple occasions in the past.

9. Giftedness as a process
Psychosocial skills
Ability Achievement Eminence
Competence Expertise
Opportunity
Based on material from ‘Rethinking Giftedness and Gifted Education: A Proposed Direction Forward Based on
Psychological Science’- Subotnik, Olszewski-Kubilius & Worrell
Out-of-school experiences
are important
opportunities that help in
translating ability to
achievement

10. Gifted students- unique needs and challenges
Psychosocial
• developing peer to peer relationships (not in a sufficiently challenging environment)
• managing perfectionism (high expectations of self and fear of losing the ‘gifted’ label)
• managing anxiety and stress (competing at an advanced level)
• low self-esteem (when they are achieving below their potential)
• developing executive function skills (lack of adequate challenge may have resulted in
not working on these)
• avoiding burn-out (student is good at school, may take on too many activities)
Overall
• Insufficient Challenge- bored, disruptive in class
• Insufficient Opportunity to pursue interests- starts losing interest & motivation
• Lack of peer group with similar abilities and interests
• ‘Twice- exceptional’ students also exist

Programs
Apart from hands-on and minds-on
‘academic enrichment’ tasks,
children experience ‘active pursuits’
like cooking, gardening, music and
dance, and ‘inward reflections’
through nature walks, journaling,
facilitated dialogue and body
awareness exercises.
