Students will explore the concept of character development with this tale set in medieval times. The Midwife’s Apprentice is the Newbery Medal winning story of a girl who doesn’t have a home, parents, or even a name. When Brat finds shelter in the dung heap one night, she meets Jane, the village midwife. Brat begins an apprenticeship with Jane and discovers that delivering babies is challenging and rewarding. As a midwife’s apprentice, Brat gains skills and knowledge, but her courage and will are tested during a difficult delivery.
COLLEGE OF WILLIAM & MARY
The Center for Gifted Education (CFGE) at William & Mary University (College of William & Mary), is a research and development center providing services to educators, policy makers, graduate students, researchers, and parents in support of the needs of gifted and talented individuals. Located in Williamsburg, Virginia, the CFGE has established an international reputation for excellence in research, curriculum development, and service. Several major grants, including funding from the Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Act, have provided significant support for the work of the Center. In 2012, the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation awarded CFGE the funds needed for a summer residential camp for low income, high-ability children, for four consecutive years. In 2015, William & Mary alumni, Mike and Nancy Petters, through the Petters Family Foundation, provided additional financial support to the program. In 2016, the Petters Family Foundation has committed to fully fund the program for the next four years. Camp Launch is only the beginning of the Center for Gifted Education’s goal to bring educational equality to all gifted students.
