This week is Gifted and Talented Awareness week in the state of MN.  To bring awareness around the social emotional needs of GT kids I shared this article today with the JHS staff.   “Helping Gifted Students Move Beyond Perfectionism” is from the November issue of Teaching for  High Potential.   It is a short and helpful article that addresses an i ssue I frequently hear about from teachers - how to support gifted  perfectionists.  The article does a good job of explaining that merely  saying “Chill out” isn’t helpful (just like telling a depressed  student to “Just be happy” wouldn’t work).  Last week Lori Schultz and I were at the National Association for  Gifted Children Conference in Florida and we are excited to work with  you and our students with our new ideas.  Feel free to ask us about our  experience at the conference and the sessions we went to!
