Week of July 3rd: Ch.1 What Does it Mean to Be Gifted? Week of July 10th Ch. 2 Life as a Gifted Kid Week of July 17th Ch. 3 YMIGT? Week of July 24th Ch. 4 Gifted and Talented...
Through this book study, students will develop understanding about what it means to be gifted and become equipped for self-advocacy.
I have over fifteen years experience as an educator, with a Master's Degree in Curriculum Instruction and Development and a Gifted certification. I have taught in both inclusive and self-contained gifted environments. Additionally, I have previously acted as a parent advocate and coach for parents of gifted children while also authoring the book The Everything Parents Guide to Raising a Gifted Child published at the request of Adams Media. I have been leading student and parent groups for gifted children for over ten years. I'm passionate about helping gifted students reach their maximum potential in all areas of life, not just their academic ones.
Students will be expected to read one chapter each week and come prepared to discuss the content. Students will need to acquire a copy of the book: The Survival Guide for Gifted Kids: For Ages 10 & Under (Survival Guides for Kids) Paperback – August 6, 2013 by Judy Galbraith M.A. (Author)

Students will be informally assessed based on participation.
55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
Parents are encouraged to read the parallel book The Survival Guide for Parents of Gifted Kids: How to Understand, Live With, and Stick Up for Your Gifted Child - to learn alongside their child and facilitate family conversations on the topics addressed in the book study. Parental guidance is not required as long as the student is comfortable using the basic features of the Zoom chat. The chat feature will be turned off unless a parent requests access prior to the class based on their individual child's personal needs. The instructor is happy to accommodate any learning differences and/or disabilities as long as notified prior to the start of the lesson.
