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. GENEVIEVE – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –

    Informative. Useful. Thought-provoking.

  2. JASON M – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –

    It’s fine. I admit, it was nothing like I expected; the title is mildy hyperbolic. The presenter does lay out a reasonable argument.

  3. Roberto – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –

    Very informative.

  4. Maggie – WESTERVILLE CITY (verified owner) –

    It was eye opening

  5. Jonathan – BOERNE ISD (verified owner) –

    This was informative but maybe not as useful in terms of implementing strategies in the classroom.

  6. JAMES – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –

    I really enjoyed this course. I often forget about the state legislators. They are so out of touch with the “School House.”

  7. Jeanie – CLEAR CREEK ISD (verified owner) –

    Very informative!

  8. MONTE W – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –

    It was kinda old.

  9. Wendy – CONROE ISD (verified owner) –

    Great, informative course!

  10. Brittney – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –

    This course was very informative. It had helpful ways we can embrace the digital age. This works well with remote learning.
