These tips include: 
1. Familiarize yourself with the charachteristics of intellectually gifted students- not all gifted students are the same.
2. Let go of "normal"-Every year, every day , and every student is different. You can't teach the same every year. 
3. Conduct informal assessments-provide your students with challenging material and find their strengths and ability level. 
4. Re-familiarize Yourself with Piaget & bloom- they are devlopmental theorists.  utilize higher level thinking skills like analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. 
5. Involve Parents and Resource Locators- Parents of gifted children are often active advocates for their children. Flexibility and willingness to think differently will help you and the parent aid to their child. 
6.Learn about Distance Learning Oppurtunties- Programs for gifted students, taking AP courses, and college courses. 
7.Explore Acceleration- attending classes with students who are at the same level as them. 
8. Learning form the Experiences of others- Serving as tutors for not gifted students, giving students more work if finished early, allowing them to move ahead. 
9. Utilize outside resources- using several national organizations to reach out and get support. ]]> 2019-03-11 23:50:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jfunk_34/eovwnwt0zsmc/wish/340202458 jfunk_34 https://padlet.com/jfunk_34/eovwnwt0zsmc/wish/340205894 1. I would encourage my gifted student(s) to be a support for myself in the classroom. Using them to help my lower kids, help me teach a lesson, just being a good helper for myself. It will give them a challenge to keep suceeding.  
2. I would do my best to make a different assignment or activity to have the gifted child look forward to make the child challenged after grasping a subject. If need be I would like them to join a higher grade level for subjects. 
3.Involve the parents as much as possible, ask what their expectations are for you and the student throughout the year. If the student needs extra help or activities I would want the parents to do some at home as well as keep them involved with the students gains and actvities at school. ]]> 2019-03-12 00:11:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jfunk_34/eovwnwt0zsmc/wish/340205894
