Friday, November 10, 2023

Teachers of gifted students may feel uncomfortable addressing mental health concerns and the emotional well-being of their students. Like Joy and Sadness from Inside Out, gifted educators and school counselors can become powerful allies in support of gifted students’ positive emotional development. This session highlights approaches to successful collaboration and common interventions that can benefit gifted students' mental health.

Learning Objectives:

  • Review the defined roles and training of school counselors alongside the NAGC programming guidelines.
  • Consider common interventions and teaching strategies to address the unique manifestations of gifted students' emotional concerns and mental health.
  • Develop specific collaborative strategies when working with school counselors to maximize student mental health and emotional wellness.
