Supporting Gifted Students in the Elementary Classroom

What if you could support the gifted students in your classroom without it taking up tons of extra time?

Do you have high-flying kiddos in your class? Or, have you recently found out that one of your students is gifted and you have NO idea how to help them? This class is meant for you!

During this practical, hands-on hour-long workshop, I will help you understand who these students are and we will create a self-running enrichment center that will challenge all of the fast finishers in your class (not ONLY the ones identified as gifted!).

Who Is This Class For?

This class is perfect for teachers, parents, or other support staff who interact with gifted (or possibly gifted) students in any type of regular education setting!

This class will help you get your enrichment center planned and implemented in a single day so it is ready for your students!
