The kind of transactional, or tit-for-tat giftedness that so many programs identify and develop will not help to create a better world. Yet, if anyone is in a position to create a better world, it is our gifted young people. In this article, roles are presented that can be used to create change in the world. Some of these roles, when applied toward good causes, can be positive--advocate, activist, and champion. Others tend to be negative--fool, fanatic, and spoiler. We should teach in a way that encourages gifted students to become champions of positive causes--to take leadership roles in effecting positive change. This article discusses how those in the gifted field might think about this task.
