PROGRAM FOR PARENTS
SPIN
The Lorain County Gifted Consortium hosts a Special Parent Information Night (SPIN) for Parents of Gifted children every other year in late September or early October. The event is held at the Stocker Center of Lorain County Community College and has been well attended by parents who wanted more information about gifted services that are provided for their children.
The goal for the event is to create partnerships with our parents, provide information relevant to the needs of gifted students, and to celebrate the opportunities and talents of our Lorain County Students. The interest this year from parents was evident with over 200 parents attending.
The purpose of this evening is to build public awareness of the special needs of gifted children to celebrate the opportunities and talents of our Lorain County students and to gain partnerships with the stakeholders who are instrumental to implementing and maintaining exemplary gifted programming.
There is a keynote speaker at every SPIN session followed by breakout sessions that give specific information on programs and services for the gifted children in Lorain County.
