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 felt this course will give teachers, especially newer teachers, a pathway to take with gifted children. It also helps to take this course while you actually have gifted students in your class so you can relate to them. It is hard to just listen and take notes about this when you haven’t actively worked with a gifted kid. It gives you a different perspective on how you show look at that student and not compare to the rest of the students in your class.
