This online interactive professional development class equips educators with a deeper understanding of gifted identification, with a focus on equity, accuracy, and the diverse profiles of gifted learners. Using the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) Standards as a guiding framework, we’ll examine how to translate them to your classroom through the use of research-based strategies. Educators will explore the complexities of asynchronous development, how it impacts student behavior, performance, and emotional needs, and will also compare and evaluate a variety of gifted service models to determine what works best for meeting the unique academic and social-emotional needs of gifted students in both inclusive and specialized settings. Suggested pre-requisite class is No Cape Required: Tools and Truths About Gifted Learners.
Successful completion of the class will result in 12 hours of recertification credit. This class can contribute towards a gifted endorsement.
