This group is where we can share, learn, and grow! Just as mechanics are expected to continuously learn about engines, we, as parents and educators should be expected to learn as much as we can about intelligence, learning, brain research!

A little about me:
2009-10 marks my 14th year teaching gifted students in NE Ia. I came back to teaching after staying home with my 2 children for 10 years. Prior to that I taught in Australia, residential treatment centers and a county juvenile home. All have been rewarding, interesting jobs. My children are in college and my husband and I are enjoying the empty-nest syndrome.
