Thought Filled Thursday: Establishing Supportive Practices for Gifted Learners

Host(s): Chris Rice, MA, CAS; Psychologist for Advanced Learning Services in the Wake County Public School System: Andria Hall, Coordinating Teacher in the Wake County Public School System

Intended Audience: Educators (general ed, gifted ed, special ed, etc.); Parents/others could join, though it may be more appropriate for educators

Description: The beginning of the school year is the time when educators get to work with their students to establish routines, expectations, and--most importantly--trust and understanding between teacher and students. For our gifted learners, it is important to have an environment that is supportive so they can take risks and challenge themselves academically, intellectually, creatively, and personally. How can we make sure our classrooms are supportive? Join NCAGT and other educators around the state to discuss strategies to establish supportive practices in your classroom!
