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 love her insight and how she is able to turn our thinking around to see from the perspective of gifted children. I used to always think “gifted equals smarter”, but there is so much more depth to gifted children. I found this out when having 3 of my own in my household, but these trainings have helped me understand their depth even better.

We were told. In a previous training by the same speaker, that gifted students do not want to be singled out nor should we have them help other students. Yet in this training the speaker talks about asking the gifted student to come up and teach/explain their way of understanding a concept in class, which seems to be contradicting the previous training I just went through.
