We’re going to be returning to the Devens Common Center, in Devens, Massachusetts on April 4, 5, & 6, 2014. Our theme is:
Lessons Learned: What do we know about educating highly and profoundly gifted kids?
Keynote Speakers
We're excited to welcome Kathi Kearney and Colleen Harsin as Keynote Speakers this year. Kathi has worked with gifted children as a teacher and administrator in a wide variety of settings, urban and rural, in public, private, religious, and home schools. She is a recognized expert on homeschooling exceptionally gifted children. Colleen will be discussing her experiences as the director of The Davidson Academy of Nevada, a public day school for profoundly gifted students. To read more about the exciting work they've done and the experiences they'll be sharing with us this April, click here.
Book Release
Book?
Book!
We are hoping to have a book ready for the conference. Its title, oddly enough, is the same as this year’s theme. Various authors are contributing vignettes of their lives – lessons learned, positive or negative, that we believe will help to inform future generations of HG/PG kids, their parents, their teachers, and other professionals who work with them. Some contributors will be very familiar to the HG/PG community while others are from other parts of the gifted community and others still will be total strangers. We'll keep you posted as this exciting project develops further.
