Building Empathy through Engagement! Using age appropriate books to help students learn coping mechanics to help them navigate their foundational awareness
The term "gifted" often carries the expectation of effortless success, much like a well-tended plant that seems to flourish on its own. However, the social and emotional challenges faced by gifted students are like hidden weeds in the garden—persistent and often overlooked.
Just as a thriving garden requires careful attention to the unique needs of each plant, gifted students need intentional, individualized support to grow. This interactive session will provide educators with practical tools and strategies to cultivate foundational wellness, planting seeds where brilliance blooms.
