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

Although much of this course was data and technical terms the presenter did a good job of not talking over the head of her audience. Based on the way she spoke most of the people viewing live were parents.
