Gabrielle Baker Thesis (PDF 3MB) |
Description
A case study approach was adopted in this research to explore the wellbeing of gifted adolescents who participated in a two year immersion class. Qualitative evidence supported ability-grouping to compact three years' curriculum into two while incorporating social-emotional skills. Vignettes of challenges beyond the safety of the class however, revealed changed behavior that influenced student development and identity. A whole-of-school approach to wellbeing was recommended to foster a shared ethos of inclusive practice and empathy. Insight from the research has global significance for gifted adolescent wellbeing.
