Overview of Seminar
It’s that time of year again for parents in NYC to begin thinking about the many options they have available for their child who is going into kindergarten within the next 2 years or testing for gifted and talented for pre-k to 3rd grade. Is a private school the only choice for you? Should you consider both private schools and NYC gifted-and-talented programs for pre-K through 3rd grade? Or should you think about a good public school in your area? No matter which option you’re considering, this is a “must-attend” seminar for any parent with a child entering kindergarten within the next 2 years or testing for the G&T program from pre-K to 3rd grade.
Join Karen Quinn, former private school placement adviser, best-selling author of The Ivy Chronicles and Testing For Kindergarten, along with NYC Gifted and Talented parent expert Michael McCurdy, as they share insider secrets that will boost your child’s chances to get admitted to the public, private, or gifted and talented school of your choice.
During this informative session you’ll discover:
* Insights into the myriad of tests given to children – ERB/WPPSI, OLSAT test, Bracken Test, BRSA & Stanford-Binet
* The 7-Abilities every test assesses, and your child must have to succeed in kindergarten and beyond
* How to prepare your child for kindergarten testing without spending a fortune and stressing out the family
* Private school processes and procedures
* Gifted and talented testing for NYC vs. general education – pre-k through 2nd grade
* Timelines and deadlines for school applications
* All the different options you have available to you as an NYC resident
* How the system works and how to effectively navigate through it
As a special bonus, Karen will be giving away an autographed copy of her newest book, Testing for Kindergarten. She’ll also demonstrate her newest game – IQ Fun Park, which takes the chore out of preparing your child for testing! The IQ Fun park covers all the major tests: OLSAT, Bracken, Stanford-Binet, and WPPSI.
