Hello, Fellow Texan Friends!
Here are the resources from the sessions:
For the Littles: this site
Let’s Hang Out!
If you’d like to stay in touch, please join in the Gifted Guru Insiders! Right away you’ll get this excellent guide on helping gifted kids thrive in school. Find out more about that here.
If you think your students (or personal child) may enjoy joining Mrs. Van’s English Class and becoming a Vanstar, learn more here.
Would you like to get a taste? You can watch me teach a class here!
Would you like resources ready-made for your classroom?
In addition to the freebies I send to the Insiders, I create resources I put on Amazon and in TpT. You can find great stuff for gifted in my little store!
Want more? Check out the Books!
Perfectionism: A Practical Guide to Managing ‘Never Good Enough’
I wrote a book on perfectionism that won a big ol’ award. I like it because everyone who reads it tells me that they got tips they could really use from it. It’s a good one, promise, and it’s geared to teachers and parents. I keep the Kindle version super cheap, so everyone can grab it who wants it!
Living Gifted: 52 Tips to Survive and Thrive in Giftedland
Living Gifted: 52 Tips to Survive and Thrive in Giftedland is a super little book that is a book and workbook in one. It’s chock-full of great activities you can do (or do with students). You can get the ebook for just $2 here.
Gifted Guild’s Guide to Depth and Complexity
You may already have the book Ian and I wrote about Depth & Complexity. It’s a game-changer (and we aren’t even the ones who called it that! It’s the best (because it’s the only!!!!) book on the Depth & Complexity framework, and it’s very user-friendly. If you’ve ever been interested in Depth & Complexity, this is the book for you. Grab a copy!
Concept Capsules: The Interactive, Research-based Strategy Teaching Academic Vocabulary
Teach academic vocabulary at all? In any content area? Have I got a method for you! This is my latest book, and it may be my favorite (well, after the Depth & Complexity book). You can grab the paperback here or the digital copy at half price for people who’ve attended workshops here.
Let’s keep in touch!
Questions? Follow-up clarity issue? Just want to be a part of Giftedland community? You can find that on my website, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and YouTube.
I hope to meet you again, even if it’s just virtually.
Best wishes!
