Dare to Disrupt...vague gifted labels.
What This Lab Is Disrupting
In gifted education, we often stop at the label.
A student is identified as “gifted,” but the how, how they think, create, process, question, or problem-solve, is rarely articulated or shared.
This Lab disrupts that practice by helping educators develop clear, shared language that makes giftedness visible, portable, and actionable.

Maybe you're feeling...
What will you learn during the webinar?Â
1.
Clarify how your students are gifted, not just that they are.
Educators often know a student is gifted but struggle to articulate how. This lab supports you in identifying and naming specific expressions of giftedness, moving beyond labels to strengths you can actually design for.
2.Â
Identify what activates engagement, motivation, and growth.
Gifted learners are not motivated by the same things. You’ll learn how to pinpoint what activates curiosity, challenge, and persistence for your students and how to capture that clearly in one purposeful sentence.
3.
Define what gifted learners truly need to thrive.
Instead of relying on generic strategies, this lab helps you articulate the specific supports, structures, and opportunities your gifted learners need, so that instruction is responsive, intentional, and meaningful.

Keynote Speaker, Author, Educator, and L.O.U.D. Advocate for Gifted LearnersÂ
I’m Andi. I’m a keynote speaker, author, and educator and a L.O.U.D advocate for gifted learners who don’t always fit the systems meant to serve them. Through years of working with students, families, and educators, I’ve learned the hard way that identifying a child as gifted isn’t enough. Labels without shared language leave gifted learners misunderstood, mis-served, or invisible.
My work helps educators slow down, get clear, and build language that makes giftedness visible and actionable.Â
I can't wait to learn with you!Â
