[Ohiogift] Reminder: tomorrow's Webinar

[Croft, Laurie J]

Anti-Intellectualism & Other Challenges to Gifted Education
Nicholas Colangelo, Ph.D.
April 4, 2013
4:30-6:00 PM US-CDT (Log-on beginning at 4:00)
[Nicholas Colangelo]

Support for gifted and talented programs and services has not been consistent throughout history in the United States. One of the challenges is the continuous sense of anti-intellectualism, even though that same hostility is rarely apparent toward those who excel in sports, dance, art, or music. Additional challenges have included a belief that gifted programs are "elitist," and that talented learners will "make it on their own." The Webinar (or DVD option) is required to enroll in the credit option; the online component will explore challenges to gifted and ways to advocate for programs essential for academic talent development.

Registration is for a computer; multiple individuals may watch the computer! Limited to the first 50 computer registrations.

Cost
*        The Webinar registration fee is $45 per computer, no matter how many are viewing the computer!
