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.

This course should be for all parents and teachers, if one like to see the potential a child has and how social and emotional needs of different kids be understood, especially if you see your child or student behaving differently. These GT kids has gifted anatomy of their brain. Their developmental milestones are at different pace as compare to average good kid. Special attention is required from parents and teachers to understand the gifted potential and how can we provide the space a child requires to attain those special abilities. I learnt all these from this very training course and I think, it is not for teachers only, parents should also be part of this trainings and capacity buildings initiatives.

I often use the journals and let them know it will be a communication journal ONLY between them and myself. So they feel comfortable with expressing their feelings. I think the Bibliotheraphy section was a little too lengthy.
