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 bit repetitive, but good strategies for all students. Even sped students want teachers and adults to understand their sensitivities, interests and passions. ALL students need to be seen as human first and scores last.

I strongly believe that all teachers should have this training because it is very likely that students are labeled special education without considering the possibility of giftedness since the teacher/assessor may not be able to see past the difficulties being displayed louder.
