9-12+FOCUS+at+G-T

9-12 students will be in Mrs. Farnum's Advisory, this will ensure ‘developing a secure relationship with gifted children is critical and at the same time more difficult than doing so with their non-gifted counterparts.’ (as suggested by Kesner (2005:219) suggests that for the educator in the following article: === [|Challenges Faced by "//Gifted Learners//" in School and Beyond **...**] ===

www.**student**pulse.com/.../challenges-faced-by-**gifted**-**learners**-in-sch...  Please read the article if you have the time. : ) Pretty interesting, AND explains some gifted students with motivation issues aka "At Risk" Gifted Students! These students will participate in scheduled advisory activities AND work with the Mrs. Nelson, Mrs. Alesch and Mrs. Farnum on special events...one of which was implemented a few years ago, called "Lunch and Learn". Students Skype with various professionals during lunch and advisory time! I hope to employ the knowledge of an attorney in California who spoke about students/technology:   [|Gretchen Shipley]  [|Attorney] at [|Fagen Friedman & Fulfrost]   I'm also hoping to connect with my friend Katharine Goeldner (free lance opera singer, from Sigourney, Iowa graduated from U of I)
