Description
Parents and teachers alike are often befuddled when trying to provide for all of the needs of a gifted child. Where to begin? How do I start? This session involves the participants in a journey that underlies philosophy and services to help gifted kids become autonomous learners. Our journey begins with the child rather than programming for the child. Often children know what they want, but not always what is available to them. Participants leave with activities that they can implement at home or in the classroom to assist in developing autonomous learners.
