Feedback on Emily's presentations:
​
"I have attended several of Emily's presentations and I always leave feeling like I've learned more about my daughter. She provides great ideas of ways for me to help my daughter grow. I feel like she really 'gets' gifted kids and what it is like to be a parent of one."

“Emily Kircher-Morris was amazing discussing the social/emotional needs of gifted kids. We need her to be teaching these strategies to other classroom teachers.”
 
“(We need to) have Emily Kircher-Morris come more than just one/two sessions. She is amazing and we have learned so much for her with strategies with our gifted kids.”

"We've developed our entire year-long PD goal based on Emily's presentation. She helped us understand our 2e learners in a new way."

"Emily was great! She is so knowledgeable. This was just what I needed and I can't wait to use these skills in my classroom next week. Excellent presenter and excellent information."
