Description
It is impossible to serve the needs of gifted children without first identifying them. Unfortunately, many students aren’t identified until too late in their educational journey. In this 1-hour course, Debra Troxclair, Ph.D. defines what giftedness actually is and presents the reasons why it is important to identify gifted students as early as possible.
In this course you will learn:
- Different types of gifted students
- Traits of giftedness that are often mistaken for misbehavior
- How to identify young children with advanced abilities

This was given to me by my district for GT compliance training, but it is for early childhood teachers, not secondary teachers, even though my district said it was recommended for K-12.

GT is a fascinating topic and I always love learning more about giftedness. This course was a great overview of the characteristics but also went into greater detail of behaviors and interventions for gifted students.

This course really made me revaluate the “goal” of my GT students and what behaviors I emphasize in my classroom. The goal needs to be autonomous learners, not successful learners.

I feel direct questions versus fill in the blank could be more helpful in completion of the course. The discussion questions were not helpful in my learning and after reading the content the last thing I wanted to do was complete discussion questions. Maybe one or two but not four.
