How Talented Students Fared During and After the Pandemic
Briefly

Research published in Gifted Child Quarterly highlights two important studies on supporting gifted students. The first study, from the University of Belgrade, found that teachers reported gifted students demonstrated resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic but did not reach their full potential without interaction with similarly talented peers. The second study from the University of South Dakota focused on perfectionism and burnout among honors students post-pandemic, revealing that these students exhibited higher levels of maladaptive perfectionism, leading to symptoms of depression and anxiety, compared to non-honors and typical peers.
