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

Corinne – FLOUR BLUFF ISD (verified owner) – May 18, 2020

Very interesting. I have thought for a long time that this should be mandated the way special education is mandated. GT is Sped, after all. I think the students should have IEPs for GT.

Speaker was passionate and knowledagble on topic, however: training could benefit from chunking by spacing segments with reflective questions.

Ms. Mersino is very interesting and an advocate for the gifted and talented subpop in our schools. I love this course because it offers many positive avenues to advocate for change in funding for educational services.
