| Abstract: | This response to Sternberg’s ACCEL (Active Concerned Citizenship and Ethical Leadership) model aims to provide a feminist perspective on the rationale and relevance of the model in mitigating harmful patriarchal gender expectations. Additionally, this response investigates potential barriers to the implementation of ACCEL as a model for gifted education. Furthermore, it examines Sternberg’s ACCEL model as a tool that can help create a more egalitarian society that actively challenges and resists harmful gendered stereotypes. |
