EDGE meetings will only be open to students who have been identified as gifted, or talented, and will be a place where we can openly talk together about life. Such skills are important in relationships with peers, teachers and parents. We will also be using this time to write ALP goals.
Gifted teens face developmental challenges just like anyone else their age, however, because of their exceptional abilities, their experience of development may be somewhat different form the experience of others. We will be discussing student chosen topics with peers of similar ability.
Our discussions will focus on development, stress, perfectionism, friendships, values, risk taking, organizational skills, college planning and world events. This will not be consoling, I will not be trying to change who the student is and they will not receive homework, or grades. This is just a place where they can have fun and they can be themselves.
