I think this is not only good information when dealing with our GT students, but us as teachers as well. We also need to realize that we will never get everything correct or right. We make mistakes as well. And I think telling/showing that to our students will make them feel like, if she/he makes mistakes and they don’t completely fall apart, than so can I.
