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 refreshes the challenges that gifted kids might find through life. We can help them find their own voice, understand themselves, solve problems and show them how to address their intense emotions, sensitivity and energies in a creative way. It provides very useful resources like Bibliotherapy, Classroom Strategies through activities like invent a feeling, Daily Journal, Benefits and Burdens for decision making, Unfortunately / Fortunately, Admiration Ladder and many others. Truly an outstanding course.

Then final quote in the module and the teacher’s interpretation of it says it all – the quote does not mention gifted students: it is about all students. But the instructor continues to want to “other” gifted students while simultaneously marginalizing everyone else. Offensive.
I found this curse to be helpful only in the sense that it taught me things about how to teach ALL students.

I liked this course because it gave me an insight to the emotions and social difficulties that gifted students face and struggle with every day. It allows me to understand that when a student says something to me, I know I need to listen and not just dismiss what they said.
