GHF® Choices: DIY Education |
|
It's actually May - are you seeing light at the end of this school year's tunnel or in denial. with a bazillion goals unmet? Oh, and you're on the ball for getting a start on prep for the fall, right? Before you close this to go hyperventilate, know that all goals are set by you and your kids, and you can move things around as ability and development dictates - individualized and intentional - and while some things have deadlines, they're able to be integrated into YOUR plan without taking it over. DIY Education, our guided, self-paced, collaborative, yearlong course for parents who are involved in their kids' learning, equips you with the tools and confidence to steward your child's customized path. Each monthly theme delivers a wealth of topical week-by-week content, and live discussions with our field experts, Carol Malueg and Kasi Ann Peters. Workshops, videos, and chats by renowned gifted education specialist guests, plus an exclusive, supportive group of peers are all included... an unheard-of value and true labor of love to thank you for sustaining our non-profit work in the gifted community! The course is designed to start ANY TIME and take from it as much or as little as you desire - dip a toe in or fully immerse yourself! DIY Education is a benefit included in your supporting GHF® Choices Membership.

GHF® Choices: DIY Education
May 2021 - 2e Family Balance
|

Capping spring quarter’s DIY Education focus on 2e, May is all about balance, and it's not a coincidence that this is placed in what is traditionally the craziest, most out-of-whack month of the school year! Kasi and Carol will guide you to discern between true and hyped demands, manage intensities and overexcitabilities, and make time for what matters, so you and your family don't need to spend your summer catching up or recovering from the chaos.
