PD for Gifted Education by Diana Horning https://padlet.com/dhorning1/2mvu430j3zbp "A good teacher knows you're smart but doesn't do anything about it. A great teacher is a support system. He or she is a mentor and role model and understands that there's more to life than textbooks." - Micah, 14 (Delisle, 2014) en-us 2018-02-22 18:43:20 UTC 2026-03-20 19:16:30 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Dartstarget.png Definition of Giftedness dhorning1 https://padlet.com/dhorning1/2mvu430j3zbp/wish/234421967 You included a wonderful definition of a gifted student.

has been carefully considered, can be not only an effective and sound intervention, but better than the alternative, i.e., doing nothing. We have the evidence and the mechanisms to make whole-grade acceleration a low-risk/high-success intervention for qualified students. "

You know the importance of simply being there and understanding  gifted and talented students. Teachers simply need to be supportive and willing to help students. This was supported by two books read for this class. “Teachers of the gifted, although not trained as counselors, can be effective in helping gifted students, underachieving or otherwise, to better understand realistic goal setting, perfectionism, competition and peer pressure.” (Rimm, 2018). 
“You can meet your students’ social and emotional needs by being respectful to those concerns, and by coming up with activities to address them.” (DelisIe, 2015).
