In het schooljaar 2024-2025 organiseert het Kenniscentrum Hoogbegaafdheid bijna elke maand een international webinar. Tijdens die webinars is Engels de voertaal. Deze webinars zijn bedoeld voor educatieve professionals en zorg- en hulpverleners die beschikken over een brede kennisbasis met betrekking tot hoogbegaafdheid, maar niet over de mogelijkheid beschikken om deel te nemen aan internationale in-person activiteiten zoals grote internationale congressen.
Over dit webinar
Children in today’s world are trying to integrate the experiences of the pandemic with what is “normal” from their perspective. Anxiety seems to have become the norm rather than the exception for children. This session explores the interplay between gifted characteristics and the biological and situational response sets consistent with anxiety. Parents and educators will develop a set of tools and strategies based upon research and best practices in education toward prevention and intervention to allow them to identify, understand and respond to all types of anxiety.
Intended Audience: K – 12 Classroom Teachers, School Counselors, Psychologists, Social Workers, G& T Coordinators and Specialists, Parents
