Join us for a free event featuring author, educator, and speaker, Emily Mofield.
Dr. Emily Mofield is an Associate Professor at Lipscomb University, where she is the co-director of the Gifted Education and Advanced Academics Programs. With over 20 years of experience as a teacher, district leader, and researcher, Emily focuses on helping educators and families support gifted and high-potential students through challenging curriculum, differentiation, and social-emotional supports.
Her research explores the social-emotional needs of gifted learners and, more recently, the impact of screen use on students’ abilities to engage in creative and in-depth thinking. She is nationally recognized for her work on advanced learning and cognitive rigor and has authored several award-winning books and resources including Vertical Differentiation for Gifted, Advanced, and High-Potential Students. She’s also a mom to a curious and creative middle schooler, which inspires both her professional and personal passion for supporting gifted learners. She lives in Nashville with her family and their beloved poodle.
Breakout sessions will be presented by Dr. Paul Beljan, neuropsychologist at Beljan Psychological Services, along with other experts in the field of gifted education from Pima County.
