Description

Did you know you can probably trace your biggest challenges in gifted education back to social and political mistakes? For example, the No Child Left Behind Act was meant to increase support for at-risk and struggling students, but it resulted in a lack of focus and resources for G/T students. Though society and politics may be beyond your help, your gifted students are not! When you understand the roots of the problem, you can become an advocate for better G/T education.

In this 1-hour course, you will learn:

  • How high-stakes testing affects G/T students
  • The impact of the economy on gifted education
  • Pervasive myths about gifted students
  • How you can become an advocate

  1. Marissa – SOUTHWEST ISD (verified owner) –

    This was not a helpful PD. It was dated – 10 years ago, and it seemed like it was more of an opportunity for this woman to get on a platform and complain about what isn’t be done for her children. It wasn’t very helpful from a teaching standpoint.

  2. Robert S. – RAYMONDVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

    Presentation was well done. I would enjoy listening to her in future presentations.

  3. Angelica – RAYMONDVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

    It was just ok, not as useful as the other sessions

  4. Kristin – SCHERTZ-CIBOLO-U CITY ISD (verified owner) –

    Very insightful

  5. Blake – NEW BRAUNFELS ISD (verified owner) –

    I enjoyed this course. It’s a bit dated (2011), but it’s still surprisingly relevant.

  6. David – SCHERTZ-CIBOLO-U CITY ISD (verified owner) –

    Very good primer on advocating for GT students

  7. Juan – LOS FRESNOS CISD (verified owner) –

    Great Course

  8. Sten – LOS FRESNOS CISD (verified owner) –

    I appreciate the idea that addressing the needs of gifted students should be seen as a right.

  9. Ezequiel – LOS FRESNOS CISD (verified owner) –

    Don’t skip the utube videos in the presentation.

  10. Alma – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –

    Interesting ways to be a GT advocate.
