Lower Merion Schools Ask: How To Identify 'Gifted' Children?

ARDMORE, PA -- The Lower Merion school district is hoping to have a community conversation centered around answering the question: how to identify gifted children?

The school district cited markers such as "intense academic interest," a need for more school challenges, a "great memory," and the ability to learn with "little practice."

They said they hope the conversation will help parents and teachers to identify more characteristics of "giftedness."

The event will take place at the Ardmore Avenue Community Center on 122 Ardmore Avenue, on March 12 at 1 p.m.
