In conjunction with Dr. Delisle's release of his book by the same title, this debut keynote provides a new look at “underachievement” from the eye of the students who wear this label and offers a series of school-based suggestions and solutions, each one bearing a similar foundation: preserving the dignity of students who choose to perform poorly on purpose.

KEYNOTE:
Marlo Payne Thurman, Ph.D. is a wealth of knowledge who has shared her expertise with the gifted community both locally and nationally. We are honored to have her keynote this year!

Different Minds: Cognition, Sensory Processing, and Learning in Gifted Children

According to Thomas Armstrong, the concept of neurodiversity (human differences in cognition, sensory processing, and learning) is as critical to the survival of the human species as the concept of biodiversity is for the sustainability of the planet. Using foundational ideas within the frame of neuro-cognitive difference, this presentation will detail some of the uniquely different minds that make up the diverse population of gifted individuals. Come discover how the gifted children in your life might differ in their learning, processing, and even in their experiencing of the world.

Breakout Presenters and Sessions Descriptions.

We look forward to seeing everyone!
