Cash, Ph.D. explains how to use complex ideas and concepts for more effective teaching strategies in secondary gifted programs.
In this 3-hour course, you will learn:

- Curricular and instructional practices
- How to define depth and complexity
This course is aligned with 2016 ODE Teacher Competencies a, b, c, e, f, g and NAGC Teacher Preparation Standards 2.2, 3.3, 3.4, 5.1.

I thought it was a very informative course, providing useful information insofar as it came to teaching gifted students and knowing how to tap into their curiosity for academic matters. Also learned a lot about the different types of questioning, and how to employ critical questioning in the classroom. Appreciated the professor’s use of social studies examples, which I found to be very relevant for me, since I am a social studies teacher and happen to teach several gifted students across my classes.

It was solid. The information can be used across all students, not just gifted.

I did not find this course particularly helpful to my situation. I teach with a very prescribed curriculum, and the activities and frameworks being discussed did not connect.
