SC Gifted

It is hard to suggest bold, innovative changes in K-12 gifted and advanced academic programming without feeling that transitioning from the way it’s always been to the way it ought to be is unrealistic. As administrators and leaders within a school system, it could feel outright reckless to pursue goals that would require dramatic shifts to the way our gifted and advanced academic programs have been designed. This session provides practical strategies to support school administrators seeking imaginative ways to not just PLYAY, the game, but to SLAY the game altogether. By providing an easy-to-implement framework to support leaders in shifting from the BE work of system management to the DREAM work of system dismantling through critical thinking. Because if this work doesn’t feel inherently unrealistic, it probably isn’t transformational enough.
