Friday, October 12, 2018

Three middle school students from each of PAGE's member school districts were invited to connect with other bright kids during a day of activities, discussion and planning.  Together the students:

• Figured out what giftedness is and isn't

• Recognized opportunities available to them

• Assessed and reflected on their learner profiles

• Considered out-of-the-box opportunities

• Created an action plan for change

• Interacted with advocates who can support their plan

These students were encouraged to share the information and skills acquired during the workshop with other students at their schools to help them learn to self-advocate.
