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.

Module 4, Section 11.1, slide 33:
is missing caption notes starting at the 2 min 13 sec mark.
Completion also sometimes doesn’t register where you will have to re-click through the slides mutliple times until it updates. I have had both slides and a quiz not register as being completed after going through a module. On some occasions, the courses will buffer/load excessively and you will be prompted to put in your login information again before the course will load, when ordinarily it would not ask for it. Please note that these problems are mostly site issues as opposed to the course itself.
