Lisa Van Gemert, a renowned expert in the field of education, is all set to take you on an exciting journey of professional development. Her base session on low-prep differentiation strategies is just the beginning of an immersive experience that will leave you feeling inspired and empowered. But that’s not all! With Lisa as your guide, you get to choose the topics that matter most to you. That’s right, you get to vote on the next topic that will be presented. And after that, another vote will determine the next topic. It’s a truly targeted, tailored PD that has been a huge hit across the country.

Some of the topics that may be covered based upon participant responses are:

Creativity & Instructional Strategies
Depth & Complexity
Identification & Assessment
Social & Emotional Needs of the Gifted

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn from one of the best speakers in gifted education!

Participants will be invited to a (1) hour follow-up session one month later via ZOOM to ask questions that may come up once they've had time to process and implement some of the strategies presented.
It will be offered from 4 - 5 p.m. on a date yet to be determined.
