14th International Dabrowski Congress!
About BIQ: Since 2001, hundreds of teachers, parents, children, and young adults have gathered together in and around Boston, Chicago, Seattle & Washington DC, for wonderfully enriching weekends. The Beyond IQ conference is a multifaceted experience including workshops, keynotes, activities for kids and/or grownups, and networking. If you are interested in our returning to some of these areas and or for us to go to new ones in 2018-2019, send us a note!
About the International Dabrowski Congresses: For roughly 50 years, there have been gatherings of psychologists, educators, and other interested people to discuss the Theory of Positive Disintegration, a personality theory that resonates for many in the gifted community and not enough of those in the psychology community.
About GCP: In 2017, we started Gifted Course Providers, with offerings for kids and adults. That will continue in 2019. (see above!) In addition, we expect to resume sending out a newsletter and presenting relevant blogs. We are working on a one week summer family camp as well as a series of evening talks in various parts of the country, exploring different aspects of giftedness.
