The Care and Feeding of Gifted Students
Join us for an interactive workshop designed for teachers who want to know more about how gifted students are identified, what makes a child ‘gifted’ and the impact of advanced aptitudes on a child’s development and function. We will also discuss how these children may present in class, what to watch for, and things to keep in mind when planning for a classroom that includes gifted children.We will practice using rating scales, consider a lesson or unit that could be flexible for gifted children, and create a basic choice menu. Bring a lesson or unit (or have one in mind!) you’d like to consider.
