 Dr. Dan Peters of the Summit

District. His presentations at Parent Education Evening Speaker Series and the
Annual Parenting Conference on topics such as Taming the Worry Monster in GATE, High Achieving, and Highly Sensitive
Students
and Characteristics for the
Gifted Learner
make him a perennial favorite.  His knowledge, insight, and sense of humor
make him a well-liked and popular speaker among parents.  His message is appropriate for all parents
and applicable to all students, regardless of GATE identification.
