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

After watching the last few GT training sessions with so much emphasis on differentiation in your lesson plans, it was a surprise to sit through a lecture. The research that Dr. Troxlar shared was very concise and abreviated, but gave some good bacakground information about who are GT students.
