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.

It had really beneficial points at times, but sometimes it took the speaker a little while to get to her point. The major learning points were extremely helpful, but the other casual talk was not.
Jill – BURLESON ISD (verified owner) –
This a great course for every teacher. THIS is the point of learning about the gifted. More challenging to apply in subject specific/non-pull out situations, but I hope and support that the elementary level teachers are doing this often and early.
