We know we need to challenge our gifted students and provide advanced opportunities for them to reach their academic potential, but how else can we support this unique group of learners? Beyond defining giftedness and how students are identified in Spotsylvania, this session addresses critical social and emotional needs that significantly impact gifted students’ overall development and potential including anxiety, perfectionism, underachievement, twice exceptionality, and asynchronous development. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how these social and emotional factors manifest in gifted students and the significant impact they may have on gifted students achieving their potential. Opportunities will be provided to reflect on experiences with students and engage in meaningful discussions. Discover resources and approaches to nurture the social and emotional wellbeing of gifted learners and create learning environments where they can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Join us to explore strategies to support the needs of our gifted learners beyond academics!
