Keynote: The Children Shall Lead Us: A Guide to Interest-Based Learning
Saturday November 2, 2024 8:30am - 9:45am CDT
Gifted and twice-exceptional kids love to learn, but they don't always love school. If your child wants to learn everything they can about astrophysics, or neurosurgery, or the Peloponnesian War, why would we get in the way of that intrinsic motivation and enthusiasm?  This session will explore why Interest-Based Learning (IBL) works, how to adapt it for your neurodivergent child, and how to advocate for it as an educational approach regardless of what school system you’re a part of.
