Description
How can stakeholders in gifted education learn to think in the future tense and develop the traits of passion, vision, and action…all essential to successful outcomes for gifted programs? While the Pre-K-Grade 12 Gifted Programming Standards provide a roadmap for schools and districts that endeavor to design and develop options for gifted learners, the journey to successful gifted outcomes begins with creating the mindset for empowering a positive future. Attend this session to experience the power of scenario thinking and leave with tools and strategies for creating a positive future in your own school or district!
