Gifted children present with a wonderful and at times challenging social and emotional complexity. Despite the increase in education and understanding about the unique dynamics and needs of gifted children, these complexities can present a challenge to their ability to regulate and be successful in the classroom. This workshop will provide a new lens with which to view and understand the strengths and challenges our gifted students present and offer five core strategies for partnering with your student to stay connected and help them grow their social/emotional capacities and skills.
Participants will: - Increase understanding and awareness of the social emotional needs of gifted children. - Explore key questions that will offer a new lens with which to understand our gifted students and foster collaborative conversation and goals with students. - Identify myths that contribute to mis-perceptions about our gifted students - Develop skills and obtain concrete strategies for working with social emotional issues in the classroom
