Micro Education

Home-schooling for gifted children

In response to local school's treatment of gifted and differently-gifted children, I decided to run my own school. With just five students of wildly different abilities, skills and interests I was challenged to find a range of ways of communicating, explaining and motivating them. I learned a great deal which I have later used in teaching and leadership situations.

Education Otherwise
and the National Association for Gifted Children

In the UK it is possible to home-school children under the legal provision of EO, 'Education Otherwise'. Children who are specially gifted are supported through the work of the NAGC.
