Description
How do we honor the intellectual capabilities of gifted students in secondary education? In this comprehensive 1-hour course by nRich Educational Consulting, educational expert Dr. Richard Cash guides educators through the complexities of creating robust and authentic honors courses that cater to the needs of gifted students at the secondary level. This course unpacks the critical aspects of developing challenging curriculum, instructional strategies, and learning environments that push beyond the conventional, fostering deep, analytical, and creative thinking.

- Strategies for articulating the rigorous demands of an honors course and setting clear, challenging goals
