3.4.6 Where No One Waits to Learn: The Intersection of Professional Learning, Leadership, and Classroom Experience
Midtown International School (MIS) is Atlanta’s home for globally-minded gifted learners in grades K-12. In its promise that no one waits to learn, the school has transformed gifted identification processes to reach traditionally un-identified populations and has redesigned the experience of being in school for students, teachers, school leaders, and parents. This presentation illustrates the path to fostering and leading environments where no one waits to learn and details MIS’s brain-based, learner-centric approach which has impacted hundreds of gifted students and their families. The presentation includes resources and tools to implement these practices in the participants' environments.
