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 really made me think of what I can do in a chemistry classroom that will teach more than science but also self understanding.

Being able to empress themselves emotionally is important for gifted students so they are comfortable with themselves and can communicate.

I think the professors does an amazing job at scaffolding what it means to be gifted and how to support those students i the classroom. By providing real-life examples, it helps understand what we might encounter in our own rooms.

Social and Emotional is the core skill set, in my opinion, of working with GT populations. As more research surfaces showing the important of SEL in all human populations, even privileging above iq intelligence, better understanding how it works in GT is critical. This course was a very good introduction to that.
