Can We All Get Along? Developing Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Skills in the Gifted Population
Many gifted children can struggle with the social and emotional skills necessary to create and maintain relationships. While many Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) programs exist in schools, they are often not adapted to the unique needs of the gifted population, such as Impostor Syndrome, Developmental Asynchrony, and Emotional Intensity.
This presentation will explore the neuropsychological underpinnings of the social and emotional difficulties in gifted children and how those challenges might manifest, including Impostor Syndrome, oppositional behavior, social anxiety, and social asynchrony. This presentation will also demonstrate some techniques on how to teach and model SEL skills for gifted children, including using Improvisation games to practice. Participants will get the opportunity to practice multiple games and get feedback/guidance on how to meaningfully enact the activities in the classroom.

So You Think You’re An Impostor?
Many gifted people suffer from Impostor Syndrome, or the inability to take credit for and have confidence in one’s accomplishments. This session will “kick off” the topic with information on what Impostor Syndrome is and how it might manifest. Then we will dive in to some creativity, hands-on activities that will encourage us to face our Impostor Syndrome head-on and learn how to overcome it!
