## Resource

What does it really mean to be a gifted learner—and how can schools support students who think differently? In this episode of American Classroom , hosts Jared Taylor and Lindsey Crosland sit down with Dr. Janelle Emory, founder of the Gifted and Talented program at Heritage Academy Gateway, to challenge common misconceptions about gifted education. Far from being just for "high achievers," Dr. Emory explains how giftedness is a form of neurodiversity—often misunderstood, frequently overlooked, and always unique. Through stories from the classroom and insights on everything from growth mindset to passion-driven learning, you'll discover how the right environment helps gifted students not only learn how they think—but thrive because of it. Whether you're a parent, educator, or school leader, this episode will inspire you to see giftedness in a whole new light.
