The Burton Experience Podcast
GATE Program with Ashley McMillan
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we explore our Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) program and challenge common assumptions about what it means to be “gifted.”
Moving beyond traditional achievement measures, we discuss how giftedness often connects to how a GATE student’s brain functions—how they learn, process information, and experience the world. Giftedness is not simply about test scores or performance; it’s about unique ways of thinking, heightened curiosity, creativity, and different ways of interacting with the world.
Join us as we reframe gifted education and celebrate the individuality of every learner. Download and listen today.
