#082 Growing Creativity in Gifted Kids w/ Stephanie Higgs

Saison 4 · Épisode 82

In this episode we’re talking to one of our favourite gifted educators and differentiation coach, Stephanie Higgs, about how we can all grow our creativity muscle, especially in our gifted kids.

Memorable quote… “

“When we broaden that definition of what creativity even looks like, I think a lot more of us fit under that umbrella than we would initially think. And then even those of us who don't feel like it comes as naturally - that's one of the things I'm here to share today, is how we can grow and refine that area of talent.” - Stephanie Higgs

Bio…

Stephanie Higgs is a passionate, energetic, and engaging educator whose colleagues describe as radiating contagious joy. She has devoted her entire professional life to education, teaching in two of Tennessee’s three grand divisions.

Stephanie earned her undergraduate and graduate degrees in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where she then taught for six years at a museum magnet school and helped students achieve up to three years’ growth in reading in a single year.

After relocating to Middle Tennessee, Stephanie became a fourth-grade teacher, which had been her dream since she was a fourth grader herself! In 2019, Stephanie became a gifted educator and differentiation coach, where the staff quickly named her their Teacher of the Year before being named a region-level semi-finalist for Tennessee Teacher of the Year. Soon after, Stephanie was honoured with the TAG (Tennessee Association for the Gifted) Horizon Award, which is given to a gifted educator demonstrating promise and leadership in the field.

Later, Stephanie was named the Tennessee Performing Arts Center (TPAC) Teacher of the Year. Stephanie recently graduated with an additional graduate degree from Tennessee State University in Instructional Leadership and now serves on the executive board as secretary for the Tennessee Association for the Gifted.

#080 Parents Guide to Gifted Kids’ First Year of School - 5 Things You Need To Know

Saison 4 · Épisode 80

mercredi 19 avril 2023 • Durée 51:10

In this episode, our host Sophia Elliott takes us through the big 5 things you need to know about a gifted kids' first year of school.

When should my gifted child go to school?
Where should my gifted child go to school?
How do I work with the School?
What do I need to know about the academic journey?
How do we get through the year looking after their social and emotional well-being?

Memorable quote… “

“What are the top five things that we really need to know as parents?

This episode is kind of like the cliff notes, and maybe that's showing my age. Anyone born after the seventies may not know what Cliff notes are, but back in the day, if you had to do an assignment on a book, but you didn't have time to read the book you would buy a tiny little book called Cliff Notes, which just told you about the book.

They were great. So this episode's like the Cliff Notes on the previous episodes and all the great things that you need to know about that first year of school and a bunch of extra tips.

So thank you so much for joining us on this.” - Sophia Elliott

#079 Parents Guide to Gifted Kids’ First Years of School #3, Part 2 w/ Jess Farago

Saison 4 · Épisode 79

dimanche 9 avril 2023 • Durée 50:39

We're talking to Jess Farago, a provisional psychologist, and mum of a gifted child this week and today Part 2 of that conversation goes out.

In this episode Jess shares how the second half of her son's first year of school went and all the tips and tricks she's discovered along the way.

Memorable quote… “

"I like to do things with people and socialise and hang out with friends but I also found when we spent our holidays with more downtime than social time, it was so much better for him.

I saw a different child starting one term when spent the last week of holidays doing nothing.

We just hung out at home. Took the dog for a walk, hung out with family, and caught up with a couple of friends, but it was a really low-key break.

He went back so refreshed." - Jess Farago

Bio…

Jess Farago is the mum of a gifted son; a 5-year-old who has recently completed his first year of primary school.

In addition, Jess is a provisional psychologist who has a passion for neurodivergence and understanding the gifted and neurodiverse brain and behaviour.

Jess observed differences between her son and other children when her son was a baby, and it was drawn to her attention by professionals, that her son might be gifted and to monitor it. Therefore, the journey of extensive gifted research, reading, understanding and ongoing observation began.

Jess has found the path of being a mum to a gifted child filled with so much joy, however, it has not been easy and is exhausting.

Some of the most challenging parts for Jess over the last 5 years has been with the stigma attached to the word 'gifted'. For years she felt isolated and that there was little to no support out there. But that didn't stop Jess from ensuring her son received as much support as possible wherever he went and that she advocated for him. This is where Jess found navigating the mainstream school system a challenge.

#078 Parents Guide to Gifted Kids’ First Years of School #3, Part 1 w/ Jess Farago

Saison 4 · Épisode 78

jeudi 6 avril 2023 • Durée 40:21

In this episode, we’re talking to Jess Farago, a provisional psychologist, and mum of a gifted child who is at the end of their first year of schooling. She shares with us their journey over the year and the tips and tricks she's discovered along the way.

Memorable quote… “

“There's a stigma attached to it, which I found really hard dealing with. And I still do. I'm getting a lot more confident about it.

But my heart races if someone says, ‘oh wow… look at [his] writing, look at his reading… you should have him assessed’. ‘Oh, I have, actually, he's gifted…’

But my heart's racing. I'm so used to the eye roll…

It's really challenging… We are like a little team. It's definitely been difficult but it's also been amazing.” - Jess Farago

#077 Parents Guide to Gifted Kids’ First Years of School Series #2 Part 2 w/ Stephanie Higgs

Saison 4 · Épisode 77

vendredi 31 mars 2023 • Durée 31:41

Today we finish our conversation with gifted educator and differentiation coach Stephanie Higgs, in part 2 of episode 2, in the Parents Guide to Gifted Kids' First Year of School Series.

We talk about… where is the best place to send my gifted child to school and what kinds of qualifications educators might have, when is the best time to start school for gifted kids? What are the misconceptions about gifted learners?

Memorable quote… “

”A lot of our listeners are going to be parents, but I'm coming from the educational side, so I love partnering and saying we are a team. First and foremost, we are a team. You as the parent are your child's biggest advocate and you know them best.

I have more experience on the education side and I have some background and some expertise and years of experience there. But you know your child the best. But the best part is we're both huge strong advocates for your kids. So we are a team.

And so I think that kind of frees up some of that, ‘am I overstepping?’ ‘Am I saying too much?’

But you do know your kid best and you've had… four or five or six years of every minute, every day with this kiddo and a teacher is new to that picture. And so we do have to partner, we have to link... we really have to work together.” - Stephanie Higgs

#076 Parents Guide to Gifted Kids’ First Years of School Series #2 Part 1 w/ Stephanie Higgs

Saison 4 · Épisode 76

mercredi 29 mars 2023 • Durée 31:55

In episode 2 of Parents Guide to Gifted Kids' First Year of School Series, we’re talking to gifted educator and differentiation coach from Nashville, Tennessee, Stephanie Higgs.

Memorable quote… “

”One of the norms that we've established in my class is to lean into struggle.

And again, if we wait until these kids are older to identify them or to serve them, it's really uncomfortable for them to lean into struggle because they have been set on cruise control for all this time in class.

And so, it's really nice and powerful and we can start that at a young age because not only can we challenge them academically, but we can really pair that with some social-emotional support for how to handle challenges, how to lean into struggle, how to develop that stamina and that perseverance what that says about us as learners.

Because I think sometimes it becomes almost an affront on who we are as a person when so much of our identity is in our intellect and in schooling, and all of a sudden it's challenging. What does that say about me if I can't do this? What if someone finds out that I don't know how to solve this problem?

If we normalise that from the very beginning, we can teach those in tandem all the way.” - Stephanie Higgs

#075 Parents Guide to Gifted Kids’ First Years of School Series #1 Part 2 w/ Emily

Saison 4 · Épisode 75

lundi 27 mars 2023 • Durée 35:16

We continue our conversation today, in Part 2 of Parents Guide to Gifted Kids’ First Years of School Series with Emily. Emily is a mum navigating those big questions with her gifted child who has just started reception (prep).

This two-part episode covers when our gifted kids should start school, where they should go to school, what expectations we should have and much more…

Memorable quote…

“I think at the beginning of the year for us, we did think it was as simple as, do we go to our locally zoned government school, which we could walk to, or a local private school, which we could also walk to. And we thought that it was as simple as that. They were the two choices.

And then suddenly, we were considering relocating and just anything became an option. But you're also, considering logistics and working, how are you supposed to do drop-offs and pickups whilst working and everything else?

It felt like our whole life was kind of thrown up in the air and everything was an option, but then so many options were taken away as well.” - Emily
