Are there sessions for both students and parents?
-
Yes! Student sessions are age-appropriate and designed to be hands-on. They are typically 50 minutes to 1 hour long. Parent sessions are designed to offer information about what to expect from the district for GT students and about special topics related to raising GT students (e.g., perfectionism, over-excitability, under-achievement, and more).
Who teaches at the sessions?
-
Instructors are community members with a passion for their profession.
-
Most instructors are friends or co-workers of the planning committee.
Can I be involved with planning or running Super Saturday?

Super Saturdays are completely designed and run by volunteers who are GT parents in the district. If you would like to help, contact us at info@a12gifted.org
