4/7 -5/12/26 Raising Gifted & Twice-Exceptional Kids, with Carol Malueg & Joan Larson

6 sessions, Tuesdays, Feb 10 - March 17, 7-8:15pm CT

Cost: $150 per household

Are you raising a child who feels everything intensely, argues like a trial attorney, asks the biggest, baddest questions at bedtime, and is dazzling and exhausting in equal measures? Parenting a gifted or 2e child can feel overwhelming and sometimes isolating, especially when typical parenting advice doesn’t quite fit your child or your family.

This group exists so you don’t have to figure it out alone. In this relaxed, six-session online conversation series, parents and caregivers gather with others who truly understand what life with these complex kids is like. Each session is guided by experienced facilitators, but the heart of the group is the parents and caregivers themselves. You’ll have space to ask questions, share experiences, listen, and leave with ideas you can actually use. 

Topics include big emotions, power struggles, motivation, friendships, screen time, perfectionism, and more. After each session, participants receive a summary of key insights along with access to a shared folder of practical resources that grows throughout the series.

The Road to Positive Advocacy for Your Gifted Child: A Family Handbook

Carol Malueg, MA, GCT 2e

We’re so proud of our astoundingly brilliant Director of Community Programming & Events, Carol Malueg’s publishing debut, and know it will be such a helpful addition to your bookshelf!


The journey from preschool to independent adulthood can present a tricky route to navigate when you are the parent or caregiver of a gifted or multi-exceptional child. The job of advocating for these children is not about providing the ‘perfect’ education, but about making the best choices within the given constraints.

Starting with the earliest school years, this book provides caregivers with the resources they will need to positively advocate for their gifted child and to help their child become a strong self-advocate. Full of practical tips, this book answers questions such as: How can I meet other parents raising kids like mine?, Why can’t schools meet the needs of my child?, How can I productively communicate with the educational team?, and more!

Fueling Creativity in Education Podcast

Equity in Gifted Education: Overcoming Barriers to Inclusion with Dr. Erinn F. Floyd

How can teachers move from a "deficit mindset" to a "dynamic mindset" when recognizing creativity and intelligence in diverse learners?

In this episode of the Fueling Creativity in Education Podcast, hosts Dr. Cyndi Burnett and Dr. Matthew Worwood engage in a rich dialogue with GHF Director of Community Outreach and DEI, Dr. Erin F. Floyd, a renowned scholar specializing in gifted education, diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice. Dr. Floyd, who serves as the Director of Training and Partnership Development for the Consortium for Inclusion of Underrepresented Racial Groups in gifted education, discusses the historical and ongoing challenges of identifying and supporting gifted students, particularly those from underrepresented populations.

Drawing from her own personal journey and extensive professional experience, Dr. Floyd explores how systemic changes and a more inclusive approach can enhance the identification process and lead to greater racial equity within gifted education. The conversation takes a deep dive into the importance of moving from deficit thinking towards dynamic thinking, emphasizing the need for a collaborative effort involving multiple stakeholders to ensure that all high-ability students receive appropriate educational opportunities.

Throughout the episode, Dr. Floyd highlights various strategies for educators to more effectively recognize and nurture giftedness in students from diverse backgrounds. She shares insights into the historical context of gifted education, including the impact of the eugenics movement and the importance of multiple criteria in identifying gifted students. With a focus on real-world application, Dr. Floyd discusses her development of online learning modules designed to train educators on recognizing gifted behaviors among minority students. As the conversation wraps up, Dr. Floyd shares her vision for the future of gifted education, calling for a more uniform, equitable policy across the nation and the inclusion of gifted education training in teacher preparation programs. Listeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of the intrinsic value of inclusivity in education and be empowered to advocate for necessary changes that uphold the diverse needs of gifted students.
