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 is my favorite part of the GT umbrella. These kids fascinate me with their emotional intelligence. It explains why they so often get along better with adults than their peers.

Janet – MIAMI EAST LOCAL (verified owner) –
There were good activities and ideas. However, the instructor is sometimes quite condescending toward regular classroom teachers and sees large distinctions between classroom teachers and gifted instructors. The reality is, for most kids, classroom teachers are kids’ only gifted teachers. I wish there was more of an appreciation and attitude of teamwork there.
