Vicki Phelps, Ed.D. and Karah Lewis, MASE, enjoy providing additional professional learning opportunities for schools seeking to improve best practice in gifted education. With a focus on developing student agency and self-regulation in learning, their professional learning sessions provide a clear structure for how to implement Purposeful Empowerment in Goal Setting (PEGS) through additional supports, assessments, and resources that continue to address self-advocacy, underachievement, and social emotional awareness. They look forward to their new book release, Strength-Based Goal Setting in Gifted Education: Addressing Social Emotional Awareness, Self-Advocacy, and Underachievement in Gifted Education, later this year (2022) through Routledge: Prufrock Press. For additional information or to learn more about the PEGS Model, please reach out to either Vicki or Karah at drvickiphelps@gmail.com or karah.lewis@sumnerschools.org
