Fall Conference

9/1/2019

0 Comments

 
Next month is the annual WATG Conference at the Wilderness Resort in Wisconsin Dells on October 3-4.  This is a time for parents, teens, and educators to come together to learn, share, and rejuvenate. The conference has something for everyone focused around the theme of “Revolutionizing the Basics:  Making Education WORK for Gifted Students.”

If you have a teen in your life, consider bringing them to the Teen Conference on Friday, October 4 from 9-3.  The title of this year’s Teen Conference is “What matters to You? Raise Social Awareness through Game Creation.”  It looks to be an exciting day spent with other gifted teens, something that many gifted students rarely get to do, engage with Stacy Read, a web and software instructor at Waukesha County Technical College.  See the link below for more information about the teen conference.

If you are a parent of a gifted student, the conference offers many workshop sessions relevant to parents, a parent room, and Thursday’s keynote by Ian Byrd, a noted gifted adult who is an author, speaker, and author of his website Byrdseed.com.  I have followed Byrd’s website and writings for quite some time and have listed various links to his website in this blog in the past.  I look forward to his keynote address, and the workshop sessions he will give during the conference. Friday is parent’s day with special discussions for parents.  

For educators, there are many workshop sessions on Thursday and Friday, and the keynote session on Friday by Dr. Scott Peters, former WATG board member, who will speak about gifted education and RTI.  Workshop sessions are presented by other educators of gifted students, parents, and gifted students in a student panel on Friday.

Check out the WATG website and links below for more information about the conference, teen conference, view the schedule, and register.  Note there are early deadlines for registration discounts.

I hope to see you there!
