Another new one, here! I am so happy to have found this site. I just finished a Gifted Education course yesterday and am all fired up to learn more. It was an on-line course and the best part of it was the classroom discussions. We, as parents and/or teachers, are often each others best source for information and ideas!
I have a highly gifted 9 yr old son, and an 8 yr old gifted daughter. Even though (or maybe especially because)they have a wonderful GATE teacher, my husband and I are interested in becoming advocates for gifted education. We'd also like to know more about opportunities available to gifted kids.
Currently, our kids are attending a Summer Institute for the Gifted at Alexander Dawson school in Las Vegas, where they are having a blast. Have any of you experienced any great programs?
I am looking forward to hearing/learning from you!
