TAGT Gifted + Equity Conference 2024

Brilliance is distributed equally, but opportunity is not. For almost a decade, Colin Seale and the thinkLaw team have used this framing as an impetus for obsessing over opportunity-creation and helping educators create systems where critical thinking is no longer a luxury good. But the tools to unlock brilliance and unleash critical thinking are meaningless when our students (and sometimes our adults) lack the psychological safety to be brilliant. In this session, Colin Seale will make the equity case for prioritizing psychological safety as a pre-requisite to learning and share powerful, but practical strategies to integrate psychological safety into instructional practices in gifted education and beyond.
