The Gifted Onboarding Framework
To help administrators and educators understand how to make this happen, I created the Gifted Onboarding Framework.
- Clarity - How will we help gifted learners and their families understand giftedness as they navigate the gifted learning journey?
- Community - How will we create a sense of community that will ensure gifted learners feel seen and supported at school and beyond?
- Content - What content will be offered to provide gifted learners with opportunities to explore and engage in new and meaningful learning experiences?
- Challenge - How will we ensure that gifted learners experience productive struggle and are appropriately challenged throughout the school day?
Gifted Onboarding: Setting the Stage for Success
Gifted onboarding is more than a welcome, it’s a vital first step in ensuring advanced learners are seen, supported, and challenged from day one. By prioritizing purposeful onboarding, educators gain early insight into student strengths, foster trust with families, and lay the groundwork for personalized learning that maximizes potential. Learn how effective onboarding can transform gifted education from reactive to proactive and why your program can't afford to skip it.
Gifted Onboarding Newsletters
I created the Gifted Onboarding Newsletters as a way for gifted educators to communicate with families in a meaningful way.
