The Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) will be hosting a virtual Parent Engagement Speaker Session: Intersectionality & Giftedness: Helping Gifted Learners Navigate Multiple Worlds with Dr. Joy Lawson Davis on Thursday, June 15th at 6:30 PM.
About the Session
Gifted students have multiple and overlapping identities that result from the social constructs that affect their lives: their cultural or ethnic group; family and community; how society perceives them; gender; income level; academic strengths; interests; language; other exceptionalities; and more.
This session will explore multiple identities using 鈥榠ntersectionalities鈥� as a framework to develop instruction and psychosocial supports that meet the individual needs of students.
