Welcome to the Gifted Guru!
Welcome to the Gifted Guru!
Are you a teacher serving gifted students? You’re in the right place to master meeting the needs of gifted kids! Whether you’re new or a veteran teacher, let’s raise your teaching practice to the stratosphere!
Giftedness can be a gift, not a struggle. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you master the needs of gifted kids. Let me guide you through the maze quickly and easily.
I’m Lisa Van Gemert. I’m a Giftedland native (I was a gifted student), I’ve raised three gifted kids, and I’ve taught gifted students. The gifted trifecta!
My favorite day of school ever was the day in 6th grade when I took the Stanford-Binet LM test. I know. It’s weird. Well, weird-ish.
My goal isn’t to be the Gifted Guru myself, but rather to help everyone be a gifted guru. Let’s master gifted together!
Become a force for good in the
lives of gifted children.
