Take Five

by Susan Craig, Kathleen Dent

Ability counts for a lot in life, but it is not the only ingredient for success. When someone lacks the personal attributes that are necessary for developing all of his or her talents, the loss is not only for that individual but it is also society's loss. The bright young students sitting in our classrooms today need not only a generous helping of challenging academic content, but also a program that helps them understand their abilities and how best to develop them. If you're a counselor or a teacher of gifted students, this dynamic program is a must! Take Five focuses on five traits of competent, productive above average ability, creativity, task commitment, courage, and caring. Concrete lessons introduce students to these traits and show them how they can realize their full potential by developing these personal qualities. These able students have specific needs and concerns and can gain personal growth and insight by participation in this program. Grades 5-8
