SENG Partnership with Renzulli Learning
Renzulli Learning and Supporting Emotional Needs of the Gifted (SENG) have teamed up to put their resources for social, emotional and academic support in homes and classrooms for the gifted, talented and twice-exceptional students across the nation. Renzulli Learning helps to increase a child’s engagement in learning by focusing on their strengths, empowering children as they direct their own learning, leading to increased self-efficacy and increased self-confidence. SENG focuses on the social and emotional support of gifted, talented and twice-exceptional persons of all ages and backgrounds. The link between positive academic outcomes for specialized populations, and social and emotional support is intrinsic, favoring the best quality of life and learning for kids.
Supporting Emotional Needs of the Gifted (SENG) is a national nonprofit organization that empowers families and communities to guide gifted, talented and twice-exceptional individuals to reach their goals intellectually, physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. SENG is a national organization with services in bordering nations, as well as an affiliate chapter in Europe.
