What does “He had a good day at school” mean to you?

AT Traditional SCHOOL Environments, it means

“He was not in trouble. I can’t think of anything else”

AT BK ACADEMY IT MEANS

“He had a dinosaur puppet show. He was great with taking turns to be the director or the audience with his peers. He also practiced how to hold the scissors and cut at a 90-degree angle. When his friend said “Let’s have a quiet game” he said something very cute: “I can’t be quiet!” He’s so self-reflective.

Her talk will be about the following: There’s growing evidence that many gifted students are actually twice exceptional (2e) with co-occurring learning differences, processing challenges, or neurodiversity. Parents sometimes overlook legitimate challenges and instead call our kids quirky, sensitive, or perfectionists. Kids’ amazing ability to compensate and mask often delays recognition of their support needs. However, providing early intervention and supports can prevent many long-term challenges, ranging from academic underachievement to social, emotional, and psychological impacts. Learn about the most commonly overlooked causes of 2e and what clues to look for - so that you can identify the supports your kids will need to thrive, and ultimately lean in to supporting their strengths
