Meryl Jaffe said… Hi Karen. I hope you had a nice holiday. Just wanted to give you a 'heads up'. You wrote a while ago on my blog asking me to comment on gifted and talented education options. It has been a challenge because there are no set guidelines - they vary across and even within states, cities and school districts.
I hope what I wrote addresses your needs and concerns. Please let me know.
In the meantime, I wish you a very happy, healthy, successful 2011.
All the best,
Meryl Jaffe

- Hi Karen.
I loved this blog post. When I had a real (as opposed to a virtual) classroom, every week my students would have to collect their favorite sentence of the week. Your blog reminded me of that --- the power of the word!
Today I blogged about the power of the word from a different perspective: choosing the right words when giving constructive criticism.
I hope you visit and leave your own ideas/comments/experiences - I greatly value them.
It has been a while since I connected with you (or anyone - been very busy) and hope all is well. I look forward to visiting again soon.
All the best,
Meryl

- Thank you, Karen for visiting my blog too!
Regarding your comment: I actually work for Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth and would love to write about gifted and talented education.
You have hit the nail on the head: Defining "gifted"
I would love to do a post - and will keep you posted! (pun intended, sorry...)
All the best,
Meryl

Nichole L. Reber left a comment for Sandra Marchetti"Actually, yes, I love that idea. Sounds like a triple win.
Sounds like everything you've thought to add is exactly what I'd suggest.
When would you like to post it? You're welcome to do it this month, if you'd like.
Cheers
