Speakers: Dr. Brian Housand and Stephanie Higgs
Teaching is hard. Gifted education can be even harder. The gripes are real: lack of time, support, understanding, and sometimes even hope. But what if those frustrations are not dead ends, but starting points? In this session, Stephanie Higgs and Brian Housand invite you to transform your gripes into grapes by reframing challenges into opportunities for growth, connection, and renewal. Through honest reflection, practical strategies, and a few moments of much needed levity, you will leave with ways to lighten the load, reclaim your energy, and reconnect with the reason you started this work in the first place.
