Something I will think about differently is understanding my students.  I will consider the profile characteristics to help see their strengths and weaknesses.  I want to use these when speaking to parents and help them to understand why their children feel and behave the way they do and show them ways to support them for success.

# data[].attributes.body
I experienced excitement to get into the classroom and be able to identify students to help them be successful in the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
SOmething I think differently about the profiles of a GT learner is that not every child is going to fit into one specific profile. Some kids could fall under multiple profiles.

# data[].attributes.body
Something I would do differently, is to use the support part of the rubric.  I found this very informative and I think it will be helpful in the future.

Also - thanks for challenging my GT thinking today!

# data[].attributes.body
A feeling I experienced was seeing different kids in the different profile from my 13 years of teaching!

I might slow down and approach a student differently based on which type of GT student they are.  I have some tools to use in conversations with students and also their parents.  I loved the format of today's class and getting to analyze the characters instead of just being told a lot of information.  Colored chart at beginning was a great intro!

Things I might SAY differently... GT students need to be told they can express themselves in a variety of ways in order to express their creativity and individuality.
Things I might DO differently... build self-esteem and mentorships between like-minded students
An ACTION I plan to take ... give alternate ways of expressing learning.
A FEELING I experienced... amazement that there are so many different profiles and that students can be in the same profile and be completely different.
An IDEA I had... using quizezz.com!

- pay attention to the different characteristics and emotions the GT student might be experiencing at the time
- using the home and school support ideas to reference when needed
-  remembering that all GT students do not appear as high-achievers and get good grades
- students can fit into more than one category

Dismissing students as non-GT learners based on behavior/disabilities. I will work with my GT specialist when it comes to nomination. Parents of a child with behavior concerns don't always recognize gifted-ness.

# data[].attributes.body
I will definitely think deeper about the behaviors of my students and what that means about their needs. I will share the home support with parents and make that a priority when meeting. I will use the school support ideas in my classroom to help meet the needs of all of the kids. Thank you! This was a great PD about the types of gifted learners.

is to use the Profile of the Gifted and Talented rubric to better understand my gifted learners.

I felt excited to finally have a profile rubric to help understand my GT students and how I can best support and serve them.  I'm ready to be proactive by being ready to best meet the needs of my GT students.

Give more opportunities to identify giftedness in students already labeled by recognizing strengths. Be proactive in providing enrichment and challenges alongside support for weaknesses. Offer many resources and work with parents to support and develop strengths.

# data[].attributes.body
Have a parent night for families to have this experience and understand the profiles in a less lecture form. SAGE is a new parent organization uniting SPED and GATES parents to help understand and be a support group.

Is how important it is to realize that not every student is the same even if they have the same GT type. Although I think this might be difficult sometimes, not everyone is going to show every behavior listed for each GT type, and therefore can be listed the same but have a totally different approach and behavior towards learning. I think, as educators, it is important for us to realize this and not overlook a student just because they don't fit the "exact" type.

A feeling I had is that my second born- one of my three gifted kids out of my 5 children, was a classic Type 2 personality- Challenging- both at home and in school, while my third born was a classic Type 6 Autonomous personality.  Lastly, my fourth born is the poster child for the Type 3 Underground and has a deep need for my acceptance of her underground personality. Raising these children required very different parenting approaches. I also identified myself as a Type 1 former gifted learner when I was in school, but did not receive the interventions at home or school to help me understand myself at the time and thus struggled for years to make sense of a lot of things.

An action I plan to take is REALLY looking at the GT students differently. Not cluster them as all the same type of gifted learner. The handout, Profiles Of The Gifted and Talented will be very helpful. Also, the descriptions and behaviors of each type of learner could help me when identifying students that may need to be tested for GT. I feel that all students would fall into each of these types of learners. It would be fun for students to choose what type of learner they feel they are.

This was a great lesson!  I would suggest showing the rubric and going over the assignment expectations prior to showing the movie so that the students will know why they need to pay close attention to identifying the characteristics.  A printed list of the characteristics (like the card game, but in a whole sheet) would have been helpful while watching the movie and creating the game.  : )
