Developing_Karma

=Develop Positive Karma - Meet Their Needs and They’ll Meet Yours!= Presenter(s): Carol Raymond, Keller ISD Strand(s): Guidance and Counseling, Parenting Day: Friday, 12/2 Time: 8:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. Room: 10A Everyone involved in education has been affected by recent cutbacks in staff and programs. As crazy as it sounds, this is the perfect time to reach out and offer special programs to parents! This session discusses ideas for book studies, special interest sessions and SENG parent groups to meet the needs of parents. Parents educated in the needs of gifted and talented students are then much more willing and passionate to volunteer their time within your classroom in a meaningful way!
