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 enjoyed this course, it brought awareness to what otherwise most often would just beglazed over. My only concern was in her way of presenting it. At times she would drop her voice down to a whisper and i was not able to hear what she was saying, even with my volume at the highest level.

The course was great! I took a lot of notes though and didn’t like that the quizzes only had around 4-5 questions. I don’t think they accurately depicted your true level of understanding of all of the course module material.

Natalie – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –
This course helped me better understand the needs of a gifted student. One of the main conclusions is that gifted students do not always understand why they are considered gifted and may think they will not always be gifted. I am grateful the course offers several strategies to help gifted students understand themselves better.
