Having an awareness of the various tests used to identify GT Students is helpful in understanding their educational needs. Making sure to give them ample opportunities to study their preferred topic with in the classroom is my biggest takeaway from this course. We want to encourage gifted learners to reach their potential by encouraging them to study their topics of interest.
