I’m Not Just Gifted: Social-Emotional Curriculum for Guiding Gifted Children

Signed paperback.

Grades 4-7.

Giftedness is more than intelligence—it’s identity, emotion, and potential.

I'm Not Just Gifted is a dynamic, research-backed curriculum designed to support the whole child—intellectually, emotionally, and socially. Created for use with gifted students in grades 4–7, this curriculum provides structured lessons and resources to help children navigate their inner world, embrace their giftedness, and develop the resilience needed to thrive in and out of the classroom.

Rooted in affective education and aligned with Common Core State Standards, this guide offers lesson plans, discussion prompts, worksheets, and tools to facilitate meaningful exploration of identity, emotional regulation, self-advocacy, and decision-making.

Whether you're a teacher, counselor, or gifted program specialist, this book gives you everything you need to build a safe, responsive, and empowering learning environment for your gifted learners.
