Acera School founder Courtney Dickinson to give free presentation for parents and educators
On November 27, Winchester Public Library will host “Gifted 101,” a free presentation and discussion with Courtney Dickinson, a leader in gifted education in Massachusetts. The event will take place on Tuesday, November 27, from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM.
The discussion will address questions such as: what are the different kinds of profiles of gifted children? What are some early indicators that a child is gifted? How can parents and educators meet the needs of today’s gifted children?
