Breaking Barriers: Understanding and Responding to Diversity in Student Potential

Students do not express their potential in the same way. Oftentimes students’ talents and potentials go unnoticed by parents, teachers, and counselors because how students express this potential is non-traditional. With help from experts, we can begin to identify and support the growth of the diverse spectrum of student potential. This one-day institute will prepare educators and parents to identify, understand, and support diverse expressions of potential, including underachievement, perfectionism, twice-exceptionality, and social-emotional intensity.
