Early Childhood

Concurrent

Leveraging the Home and Community Connections Model for Young Gifted Learners

Saturday, November 11, 2023
8:00 AM – 9:00 AM East Coast USA Time
Location: Baja
A child's home and community have always been the first place to explore passions, interests, and talents. Yet, the transition into formal schooling for young gifted learners rarely leverages these assets. This session introduces the Home and Community Connection prompts that early childhood teachers can use to access students’ funds of knowledge in culturally-sustaining ways.

Learning Objectives:

  • Participants will define the prompts of the Home and Community Connections Model and how they function as a culturally-sustaining strategy.
  • Participants will explore how the characteristics of young gifted learners can be activated within school learning experiences by leveraging home and community connections.
  • Participants will create their own lesson plan that directly elicits the cultural wealth of young gifted learners.
