Ode to Joy - Tracy Inman

This talk focuses on the importance of cultivating joy in our profession. It tells the narrative of learned wisdom and embraced joys. Dozens of experts in the field were asked to share nuggets of wisdom – whether in the form of advice, perspective, belief, strategy, or story – they’d gained throughout their years in the field and believed essential for educators and administrators to understand about educating students with gifts and talents. They also shared stories of joy or reflections on cultivating joy whether that be through a student, a realization, a professional relationship – whatever it was that affirmed their choice of profession and brought them joy. Contributors ranged from educators of gifted students to mental health specialists, university professors to leaders in the field. This talk is organized by topics in the field such as acceleration, twice-exceptional learners, and equitable access.
