It is not uncommon for gifted students to struggle with organization. Although they may find schoolwork easy, they often work through their assignments so quickly that they become forgetful. Science tells us that gifted brains are hyper-sensitive, meaning they store information faster, recall facts easier, and are also distracted easily. The problem is compounded because the students often don’t need any of these skills in their early school years — the work in typical mixed-ability schools is so easy for them that it takes nearly no time, effort, or even looking at the instructions at the top of a worksheet for them to complete work successfully. So, when their peers are learning all of these things alongside their elementary spelling and arithmetic homework, the gifted child is instead rewarded with academic success without developing these skills at all. This webinar will give parents some assistance in teaching their children these very needed skills.
