Featured Lecture by Dr. Lannie Kanevsky
The Featured Speaker at the GCABC Annual General Meeting is Dr. Lannie Kanevsky, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Education, Simon Fraser University, in Vancouver, BC.
Dr. Kanevsky’s research interests focus on the nature and nurture of the potentials of highly able learners, how we can better understand them, and optimize the development of their abilities.
Dr. Lannie Kanevsky was the recent opening Keynote Speaker at the World Conference of the World Congress for Gifted and Talented Children (WCGTC). Understanding and advocating for student voices in their learning has been a consistent feature of Dr. Kanevsky’s research and the materials she has developed to help learners and educators co-construct, personalize, and differentiate learning experiences. Many of the materials can be found in the Tool Kit for High End Differentiation and on her website, Possibilities for Learning.
Abstract: Behaving Brilliantly at Home and in School
At any age, gifted children’s behaviours provide a window on their talent and potentials. This lecture will explore 13 specific feelings and behaviours you might have noticed at home that indicate when your child is and is not engaged in appropriately challenging learning experiences. They can help you understand their learning and boredom in ways that will help you communicate with all who are involved in developing their potential in inclusive and special class settings.
