Topic:  College and Career Readiness for Parents of Gifted Students 

Wait!  What?  College? When do we start looking? Paradise Valley School District offers a variety of opportunities for the gifted learner. How do you choose? Students and parents are facing increasing pressures to begin the college and career readiness process early.  We will discuss some of the strategies and management pieces parents should consider as they work their way through this education continuum decision making process.  This parent seminar will address these questions as well as other topics which will include transcripts, admission tests, Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate?, acceleration in elementary and middle school, Family Connections and Method Test Prep.  Understanding some of the subtleties of these topics will hopefully allay some parental concerns about the many choices awaiting your gifted learner’s educational path.
