Dr. Michele Kane:

Advocating for Your Child in the Classroom

CGCC Free Parenting Gifted Seminar

Advocating for Your Child in the classroom:   Having  difficulty communicating the needs of your gifted child in an educational climate where the emphasis is on high stakes testing? This presentation will focus on effective parent advocacy. 

Online and print resources will be shared that fine-tune the advocacy efforts of caregivers as well as materials that enhance the ability of the learner to self-advocate.  Find out how you and your child can best communicate his/her needs to learn something new each day.
