The GATE Parent Association will be having a Parent Education Session on Monday, March 2, 2026, entitled:
“Giftedness Beyond Grade Levels: Understanding Growth and Challenge in Schools“
Presented by Dr. Karen Rambo-Hernandez, Professor, Fulbright Research Chair, University of Calgary.
Many gifted and/or high-achieving students do not always get what they need from school, since most lessons target grade-level expectations and can overlook how far ahead some students are. Karen will share what research shows about the wide range of achievements in classrooms, how high achievers learn and grow, and why gifted and talented services matter for these kids. She’ll also offer practical ideas for parents, especially those with students who need more academic challenge.
