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. Javier – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –

    5 Stars

  2. Alice – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner) –

    Good. But not really useful in the classroom.

  3. Jody – MIDWAY ISD – WOODWAY (verified owner) –

    Not great.

  4. Delise – GRAND PRAIRIE ISD (verified owner) –

    The course was very informative in that it gave a lot of insight as to how those not particularly in the classroom view the validity of GT courses/curriculum.

  5. Renieda – MANSFIELD ISD (verified owner) –

    This is just base knowledge by a parent who advocates for GT. The information best serves first year teachers who are interested in GT.

  6. Mandy – BEAUMONT ISD (verified owner) –

    I think the course is very educational for GT teachers.

  7. Brian – PLANO ISD (verified owner) –

    Good content. Too many side videos

  8. Frank – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –

    Good

  9. Wynett – BEAUMONT ISD (verified owner) –

    It was kind of all over the place. A little more organization would make it more effective. Was the topic ever really covered?

  10. Eliasib – VALLEY VIEW ISD PHARR – REGION 01 (verified owner) –

    great course
