CASIGY Toolbox

Thank you Sharon. I experienced affirmation and helpful redirection on things to improve!! FN, webinar participant.

Affirmation

I especially liked your strategies for struggling students. I want more time to learn more from you. BW

Strategies for struggling Students

I like how you showed us that sensitive or gifted kids aren’t inferior or defective, they’re Different by Design!

Different by Design

Listening to you helps me feel less like a misfit myself! AK, teacher. CAGT conference 2013

Feel less like a misfit

I like how you included Dabrowski’s theory of Positive Disintegration to show how negative emotions are essential for advanced development. Attendee CAGT 2016

Dabrowski's Theory

I like that you showed us how negative emotions are oppportunities. Attendee CAGT 2016

Negative emotions are opportunities

I like how you showed us Jung’s approach and how it means that many gifted have a need to develop personally to a deeper, higher level, and that problems are an “invitation to grow and develop further”. Attendee, CAGT 2016

Jung's approach

I like all the steps in the pyramid to help Gifted kids become social-emotional aces. We need more time to learn more about all of this! Attendee CAGT 2016

Steps

I like how you teach describe the intensity of your emotions like different colored flags flying on a beach. Also, I like how the part about does the color of your flag match what’s actually happening on the beach helps refocus. Attendee CAGT 2016
