WIKI WIKI I am sure that you have all heard of Wikipedia….well now we have our own. I have created a wiki space dedicated to only gifted high school students and parents. Please take a moment to visit, join the space, and post a comment! I look forward to making this a means of communication between all of us for information that we may need to share with one another! You can find valuable information pertinent to where you are on your journey! I am so excited that I have the opportunity to share this with you! Before we all know it, you will be walking across the stage—again!

Welcome to High School! You have probably heard already that these will be the best four years of your life! I hope that being a part of the Gifted Program will only enhance your High School experience! Over the course of the next four years you will be making many decisions that have the potential to change the outcome of the rest of your life! Sit back, take a deep breath, and begin your journey with the right foot forward!

“Too often we are so preoccupied with the destination, we forget the journey.”

Spring DEP Meeting

Freshman Breakfast Seminar Two We will be conducting a survey on your “Multiple Intelligences” and discussion will be had about your best learning style. A brief discussion of the Myers-Brigg types will be introduced as well.

Freshman Breakfast Seminar Three Our focus of this meeting will be the discussion of your fouryear plan for the coming school year and class registration. What direction do you see yourself going, are you on course with your plan? Those will be a few of the points of discussion.

This will help you keep track:

I will be available at East Carteret on Monday, Tuesday, & as needed on Fridays. Please feel free to stop by, call me, email or post a discussion question on our wiki space! I look forward to a great year!!

Freshman Breakfast Seminar Four This session will be for reflecting on the first year of High School. One of the major ways to change and grow is to think metacognatively! Is there a better way to do that than over food???

ECU College Campus Tour One of the most exciting parts of being in the AIG program is taking advantage of the opportunities provided. Should you be one of the many that take advantage of our time together for breakfast, you will be invited to attend the ECU college campus tour to visit a college campus and learn more about college life.
