Gifted Underachievers: Not A Contradiction In Terms | Jordan Box | TEDxUNISA

Intellectually gifted people make up 10% of the population, regardless of race, culture, location or socio-economic status, but due to outdated myths and misconceptions, and culturally pervasive stereotypes, only a fraction are properly identified. This can lead to a lack of challenge, boredom and frustration with school, poor performance and negative outcomes for the individual. This talk will challenge your idea of gifted students and may help you to see the class clown or unpolished diamond in a different light. Jordan is a secondary school biology and psychology teacher with a background in behavioural neuroscience. Recognising the lack of identification and support for gifted students, Jordan is now studying methods to teach and support intellectually gifted students to reach their potential and gain fulfilment in their education. Jordan spends much of his time volunteering with youth development and is Mensa Australia’s gifted children coordinator for South Australia. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
