Jeffco GT Dept: Parent/Family Night Presentation with Julie Skolnick
Thursday, April 18, 2024
6:15-7:30 pm
Virtual - Please check Jeffco GT Dept’s Information Page for updated information and to RSVP.
Julie Skolnick presents Understanding and Managing Transitions for Gifted Learners
When faced with a transition, gifted and 2e learners often resist. The fear of the unknown, fear of failure, or absence of trust may drive their refusal and withdrawal. Parents and educators find themselves asking, begging, and pleading with their gifted or 2e kid to do something, go somewhere or try something new. It’s hard to find empathy when you’ve just got to get out the door, or when your child or student is refusing to do something you know they’ll love or enjoy. This session discusses how to set up a delicate balance of structure and flexibility to ease the strain of transition for our gifted and 2e learners.
