Description
What makes gifted students different from the rest of your students? Aside from the legal definition of gifted, your gifted students tend to behave and think differently than others. For each gifted student, there are cultural, racial, and economic factors that all affect them academically and relationally. Their gifted traits can have both positive and negative aspects.
In this 3-hour course, Dr. Colleen Boyle gives an overview of common characteristics of gifted children and discusses their strengths, weaknesses, and potential hangups. You will learn how to help gifted students work through common struggles and use evidence-based data to create solutions to help them succeed.
After taking this course, educators will walk away knowing:
- Key characteristics of gifted students
- Theories of asynchronous development
- Types of overexcitabilities and their influence on classroom performance
- The impact of giftedness on relationships
- How outside factors affect giftedness
- Strategies for managing perfectionism and underachievement
