Find out if there are legal safeguards for receiving gifted services in your state, and see what individualized services can be obtained for your children.

All of the children are in the same classes and expected to do the same work. My twins both placed in the program one of my twins accelerated learner is doing well but often challenges the teachers and is considered a trouble maker. The other twin is a creative thinker he is the one struggling with the workload given. How can I advocate that this will not work for him and others like him without seeming standoffish to the school. We recently had a meeting to discuss my concerns with his counselor his spectrum teacher and the gifted advisor from the central office. She says she completely understands how this could present a issue for the creative learners but know what?

Since she is away at college, you may not have any leverage with the school, as she is on her own. Ultimately, it will fall on her to be responsible to attend class. Would she consider counseling or meeting with an academic advisor? I hope that you can have a conversation with her about your concerns.

But she has been spending her time on social media platforms looking for opportunities to sing. How can I best support her talent and help her successfully complete her studies. The college has raised concerns about her attendance record as she sometimes chooses to stay away from class doing her music vedios. This is worrying me as I am not sure how to get the college to support or how I can help her attend college regularly.it seems my daughter is unaware of how much work her a levels have and how she can prioritise.

It is not as specific as a search engine, though. I will continue to lack some of the more advanced tools until I migrate over to another blogging platform!

I think people need a way to look for particular topics and I don't see a way to do that right now. What do you think?Paula Proberhttp://rainforestmind.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
