IU13 SEE Seminar this morning on "Writing" presented by Lindsay Bandy, gifted author and Youth Librarian at the Manheim Community Library. Love how we make these Seminars work virtually for 40+ participants with interactive Jam Board, Zoom technology, and more.

I just wrote the sentence, "You deserve to learn at the level you are capable of" to encourage a 12-year-old who emailed me for help in asking for harder work. It's sad that not everyone agrees with me, especially her teachers. #gtchat

OMEGA kids have been busy! A powerful seminar to learn about giftedness and emotional intensity, a creative writing workshop, and a creepy crawlie day in the woods that ended with cider making in an antique press! #IU13 #SEESeminars @ManheimCentral

Grade 7, 8 & 9 OMEGA/ALPHA learners tried out old and new travel technology from measuring their paces to using compasses and GPS devices. Thanks to Lisa Sanchez from @LancasterCountyParks

[AJ Juliani @ajjuliani]

Our job as teachers is not to "prepare" kids for something; our job is to help kids learn to prepare themselves for anything.

Vigor vs. Rigor ❤️

#teambuilding disguised as #fun! 7th grade Omega students designed a spooky, dark escape room game for their classmates. #shenanigans #learningisfun

NO surprise: CHARACTER equates to lifelong success more than GRADES do. The ability to plan, prioritize, persist, be resilient, delay gratification (grit), be conscientious, agree, and be open to experiences are the BEST LESSONS! https://t.co/pbMOqBaRZb

YES!! Gifted and high achieving aren't always the same thing. https://t.co/3Bnq6EI5Rs via @ginny_kochis
