Gifted: Virtual Collaboration!
Sharing, Networking, and Navigating Gifted Education
Guiding the Gifted Through Trying Times
Trying times can -- sometimes -- be especially difficult for gifted students. With this in mind, the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) has published an excellent guide to help parents (and educators) navigate today's tricky social-emotional waters, discussing crisis responses by age/ developmental stage and offering tips for managing stress and strain. These tips offer research-based wisdom for students, educators, and families alike. Click here for the guide!
