Gifted Lecture – Sue Jackson – 6:00pm
May 14, 2015 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
“RISE” with Susan Jackson
Gifted children are a highly variable group, and learning to identify them, especially when they are underachieving or not engaged, requires a deeper understanding of the ways that gifted kids can be inherently different. Susan Jackson will be showing her last documentary, “RISE”, and then will lead an in-depth discussion. “RISE” lays bare some of the struggles and behaviours that gifted children experience and exhibit, to promote understanding and identification.
