WED 18 AUG

Term 3 Presentation

by Associate Professor John Munro

Assisting Gifted Underachievers

Wednesday 18 August 2010
7.45 - 9.30pm

Many gifted children have difficulty learning in areas such as spelling, writing and learning times tables. Not only do they underachieve in terms of their giftedness, but sometimes they show learning disabilities such as dyslexia. Both schools and parents find this perplexing. The children themselves find school distressing and do not achieve their gifted potential.

This seminar will discuss reasons for this. It will also examine steps parents can take to support their children to optimize their learning potential, both academically and psychologically. It will also examine why many gifted students experience learning difficulties, particularly in academic learning.

Professor Munro is Head of Studies in Exceptional Learning and Gifted Education at University of Melbourne.

No prior knowledge expected. School personnel and parents are encouraged to attend.

Venue: Southern Community Church of Christ, Corner Chesterville Rd and Pine St, Cheltenham (Mel ref 86 J1)

Cost: $5 members, $10 non-members

Bookings essential (payment on the night)

RSVP by email admin@giftedsupport.org or phone Louise on 9578 8068 (after 6pm)
