I think about the students that did not get the opportunity to be stretched or challenged because they did not fit a profile that is "easily identified." I will be more aware in my relationships with students to accommodate for them if I notice some indicators.

Making sure each student is honored with equal treatment. Love]]> 2017-07-24 19:43:55 UTC https://padlet.com/arowell18/4s3emkpte98v/wish/179337416 Things I might THINK about differently is that just because all GT may be placed in one room doesn't mean they are all the same. Each student needs to be looked at differently and embraced for their own style. https://padlet.com/arowell18/4s3emkpte98v/wish/179337418 2017-07-24 19:43:59 UTC https://padlet.com/arowell18/4s3emkpte98v/wish/179337418 Things I might think about differently https://padlet.com/arowell18/4s3emkpte98v/wish/179337423 * GT students are completely different
*Some might not be identified because their deficiencies are focused on
* Gifted students are "smart" in different domains]]> 2017-07-24 19:44:05 UTC https://padlet.com/arowell18/4s3emkpte98v/wish/179337423 Rebecca O. https://padlet.com/arowell18/4s3emkpte98v/wish/179337429 It was interesting to me that each group "labeled" the Meatball characters differently. It makes me wonder how close we really get to accurately identifying our students or how accurate our perceptions of them really are.]]> 2017-07-24 19:44:11 UTC https://padlet.com/arowell18/4s3emkpte98v/wish/179337429 An action I plan to take is to take ample time at the beginning of the year to really get to know my students interests so that I can tap into their talents for deeper connections. I want the students to feel important in every way, even those that might be disguised. sbenoit17 https://padlet.com/arowell18/4s3emkpte98v/wish/179337430 2017-07-24 19:44:11 UTC https://padlet.com/arowell18/4s3emkpte98v/wish/179337430 Things I might think about differently... cconley3 https://padlet.com/arowell18/4s3emkpte98v/wish/179337431 that all students could actually be grouped into one of the 6 types of Gifted Learners. We did a quizlet for our project and I will be using quizlet this next year with my students.]]> 2017-07-24 19:44:14 UTC https://padlet.com/arowell18/4s3emkpte98v/wish/179337431 Emily https://padlet.com/arowell18/4s3emkpte98v/wish/179337432 Something I will think about differently is the way in which I approach assignments with my gifted students. After learning about all of the different types, it's clear that being "gifted" does not necessarily mean they fit into a specific box. I will be more open to their ideas and allow for their creativity to super-cede over my idea of what their output should be.  ]]> 2017-07-24 19:44:16 UTC https://padlet.com/arowell18/4s3emkpte98v/wish/179337432 McAnear https://padlet.com/arowell18/4s3emkpte98v/wish/179337435 Things I might DO differently . . .I would look at my "behavior" kids in a new light and see if they fit in to one of the GT profiles, especially 4 or 5. ]]> 2017-07-24 19:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/arowell18/4s3emkpte98v/wish/179337435 Things I might say differently... https://padlet.com/arowell18/4s3emkpte98v/wish/179337447 I teach the Early Childhood learners and in my class I have an abundance of ELL learners. I am going to take more time with each individual to listen to their needs and ways to enhance these learners. I want to focus more on my twice exceptional students so they can feel more comfortable in my room.]]> 2017-07-24 19:44:23 UTC https://padlet.com/arowell18/4s3emkpte98v/wish/179337447 Things I might DO differently . . . dperkins58 https://padlet.com/arowell18/4s3emkpte98v/wish/179337449
I would consider the six types of gifted learners and apply what I learned today not only to students who have been identified as gifted, but also to other students in order to better understand their behaviors, actions, or words.

I am going to be more aware of my kids and their behaviors this year, especially those that are in the middle.

I realized in the first activity with matching without knowledge that the Feelings/Attitudes were so similar across the line that even the Successful student has worries and issues. This reminded me that all students have insecurities or issues and to be mindful of these differences.

I think the most important thing is to build relationships and really get to know our students so we can reach them in the way that they can learn best. This class made me reflect on past students and think about the types of gifted learners I have taught and how I could have reached them better.  ]]> 2017-07-24 19:46:01 UTC https://padlet.com/arowell18/4s3emkpte98v/wish/179337522 I plan to look at the gifted students through the lens of the six- types. That will help me better address their needs and support them in class. https://padlet.com/arowell18/4s3emkpte98v/wish/179337550

It will help me to look outside the box for various students and their contributions to our class.
