“The ABC’s for Parents:
Advocacy Blooms Confidence!”
Saturday,

Given
that an advocate is a person who speaks on behalf of another, as parents,
grandparents and educators of gifted children, how often do we find ourselves
as the advocate for our gifted child?
How can we develop effective advocacy tools while still cultivating
relationships of respect? Come to this
year’s AAGT Parent Institute to glean tips and information that will not only
help you better understand your gifted child, but strengthen your confidence in
your advocacy abilities.
The
AAGT is pleased to announce Deb
Douglas of Wisconsin as our keynote speaker. As a gifted author and consultant, her work
includes over a decade of experience not only teaching and advocating for
gifted students, but also empowering others to be effective advocates.
IN CELEBRATION OF OUR
10th YEAR: GT Teen Carpe Diem Workshop
on Self-Advocacy!
Led
by Deb Douglas, GT Carpe Diem Workshops
empower gifted teens to speak up for themselves through a clearer understanding
of their unique needs as outliers and their rights to an appropriately
challenging educational experience. Following this day of exploration and
reflection they will be better able to take charge of their own educations and
lives.
“Self-advocacy
is not just students getting what they want: it is students getting what they
need in order to develop their potential.” ~ Deb Douglas
