This course, in conjunction with Prof. Dr. Juntune’s other courses, prepares you to be a better teacher, mentor, and advocate for the the Gifted student. Dr. Juntune has taught me more in these 30 hours than I learned earning an M.Ed with a GT grad certificate!

This course refreshes the challenges that gifted kids might find through life. We can help them find their own voice, understand themselves, solve problems and show them how to address their intense emotions, sensitivity and energies in a creative way. It provides very useful resources like Bibliotherapy, Classroom Strategies through activities like invent a feeling, Daily Journal, Benefits and Burdens for decision making, Unfortunately / Fortunately, Admiration Ladder and many others. Truly an outstanding course.
