Class experience
This class is set up for gifted teens who wish to meet with like-minded peers on a frequent basis. This homeroom serves as a friendly check-in space packed full of thought-provoking information. Students receive an enrichment mini-lesson from a certified talented and gifted teacher (I have extensive experience working with students who are profoundly gifted as well as twice-exceptional students).

My master’s degree focused on creativity and education. I have formally and informally studied the creative process, various theories in creativity research, the role of systemizing and empathizing in creative works, mental health struggles among individuals with high potential, and bibliotherapy. (My master's thesis focused on the role of book therapy while helping gifted and talented students gain self-awareness.) I run a private business offering daily homerooms for PG students and DYS scholars.Homework Offered
Homework for this class is optional. However, ambitious students will walk away with several goals, exercises, and tasks for experimentation. I look forward to seeing the same students over a long period of time for enhanced social bonding, accountability, and creative learning.Assessments Offered
Informal assessment will be used throughout class time. Adjustments will be made based on the student's needs. These adjustments include decisions around goal-setting, advice offered (based on research), and optional next steps. Most of all, I hope students feel comfortable, encouraged, and ready for risks (not necessarily assessed).Grades Offered
Students are encouraged to attend with some way to take notes (tablet, notebook, or whatever's their style). They are also encouraged to attend with knowledge concerning their daily schedule and any questions they may have during our check-in.
These activities are anchored by the Gifted Teens' Survival Guide, Gifted Kids' Workbook by Boorman, and sections from books by Howard Gardner, Elaine Aaron, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Adam Grant, Daniel Pink, Angela Duckworth, Susan Daniels, and others.
