Up to 50% of students who are GT are introverts. Those students need different teaching styles in order to become successful. Knowing their feelings, behaviors, and needs show us how they are more prone to learn, and thus helping us identify GT students. An introvert GT may not always respond in whole class but might perfectly know the answer to the topic. ]]> 2018-12-08 23:53:32 UTC https://padlet.com/drojas/rf1hfguva8mr/wish/312569928 drojas https://padlet.com/drojas/rf1hfguva8mr/wish/312570178 There are 6 types of gifted learners: 
1. The successful
       fear of failure, avoids risk
2. The creative
      impatient and defensive
3. The underground
      conflicted, guilty
4. The At-Risk
      defensive, angry
5. Twice/Multi Exceptional
      prone to discouragement
6. The Autonomous Learner
     ambitious, self confident

GT students may also have negative characteristics. A teacher that knows these types of characteristics is a better prepared teacher. I had a student who was brilliant but super unmotivated (The At-Risk). I had to be more patient and know that he would produce inconsistent work and create disruptions. ]]> 2018-12-08 23:57:45 UTC https://padlet.com/drojas/rf1hfguva8mr/wish/312570178 drojas https://padlet.com/drojas/rf1hfguva8mr/wish/312570449 I could use activities that push out of the comfort zone, mentorship, reward new thinking, direct social skills, promote and encourage resilience.
My personal suggestions for the six profiles: 
1. The successful: I've had a mentorship program with lower grade levels. 
2. The creative: I've tried to include him to collaborate with group projects, offering sentence stems or suggestions for positive group interaction. 
3. The underground: My classroom is always positive!
4. The at-risk, LOTS OF POSITIVE FEEDBACK!
5. Twice/Multi exceptional: I've challenged students with advanced TEKS.
6. The autonomous learner: I've included them in mentorship programs with lower grades. ]]> 2018-12-09 00:04:19 UTC https://padlet.com/drojas/rf1hfguva8mr/wish/312570449 justin_vawter https://padlet.com/drojas/rf1hfguva8mr/wish/314745610 2018-12-14 17:27:13 UTC https://padlet.com/drojas/rf1hfguva8mr/wish/314745610
