Description
The current cohort of high school students are the first in history to grow up as digital natives. That means they are the first generation to be surrounded by digital media since birth. At a time when information is more available than ever, critical thinking and creativity are at a low in our student populations. In Building Critical Thinking Skills and Infusing Creativity and Creative Thinking Skills into the Gifted and Talented Classroom, Bob Iseminger tackles these tough challenges with practical application for your G/T classroom.
In this 6-hour course, you will learn:
- The definition of critical thinking
- The many types of learning supported by the brain
- Lower and higher level questioning The auditory/sequential and visual/spatial processes of the brain
- Strategies for developing creative thinking
This course is aligned with 2016 ODE Teacher Competencies a, b, c, f, g and NAGC Teacher Preparation Standards 3.1, 5.1, 5.2.

This course was quite applicable to the courses I teach — learned a few new things that I can implement with my students!

This course was very refreshing in its content. It isn’t often that educators receive professional development geared toward GT students. What I really enjoyed about this course is how it paired challenges for our GT students and support for those that aren’t. It was wonderful to be able to take this course in the comfort of my own home.

Bob Inemenger is a very good presenter who can keep your attention. He is very knowledgeable and I loved how he went beyond explaining about GT and gave great ideas to use in the class for all students. I would take one of his classes again.
