Abstract	As the current issues about the nature and quality of education are disseminated through the media, gifted students are privy to these issues and educators should be concerned about the intellectual and affective consequences they might have on this population of students. Teaching gifted students to become politically savvy enables them to overcome the concept of being a victim of educational situations. It can facilitate their ability to become an independent thinker: one who is attempting to analyze the dimensions of the situation such as its origin and its sustainability. It also enables gifted students to assess the means that are available for them to accommodate and/or transcend the situation. Becoming politically savvy is fundamental to realizing the value of intellectual as well as social actions. A well-designed differentiated curriculum can provide the context for teaching gifted students the importance and practice of becoming politically savvy. (ERIC).
