Description
The unique needs and attributes of gifted children extend beyond merely their accelerated cognitive development. They are divergent from average children in social and emotional arenas as well. Because they have special intellectual, emotional, imaginational, psycho-motor, and sensual energies that need to be understood, respected and sometimes redirected it is essential that school districts have a deep understanding of how these children operate beyond just meeting their intellectual needs.
In this course Dr. Juntune will guide you through the unique social and emotional world of a gifted child and demonstrate how schools, teachers and administrators can best serve these children and provide them with the whole person education that they have a right to.
This course is aligned with 2016 ODE Teacher Competencies d, e, and NAGC Teacher Preparation Standards 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, and 5.5.

I felt like a lot of excuses were made for gifted students. If we made these excuses for SPED students, parents would be furious. Also, at some point, everyone needs to learn how to sit down and behave in society, even if they’re uninterested. What are we doing for our students if we are not helping them grown into adults that can function in the real world. Also, I really do not feel like most of this applies to AP students.
