The difference between an Olympic runner and a weekend jogger isn’t simply that one runs faster than the other. Just as an Olympic athlete’s body trains and functions differently, the brain of a gifted student must be trained differently. Gifted courses should not just be harder versions of regular classroom work. They should be tailored and designed to stretch, challenge, and engage the brains of our gifted learners.

    This course is essential to both teacher and student in order to help the GT students improve higher order thinking and processing skills.

  9. Marly – WORTHINGTON CITY (verified owner) –

    This was a really nice review of how to teach kids higher order questioning techniques. Dr. Cash also presents some nice graphic organizers and examples to use with students as they practice formulating higher order questions.

  10. Michelle – WORTHINGTON CITY (verified owner) –

    Dr Cash gives very specific and varied examples of what he is talking about; it really helps to visualize the end-goal.

  11. Bruce – MIAMI EAST LOCAL (verified owner) –

    This course does an amazing job of explaining how to design higher level questions, and offers a lot of examples on how to engage your students into the self assessment process. Truly enjoyed the part on teaching students how to develop higher level/more depth questions to enhance their overall learning.

    It was very helpful!

  15. John – WORTHINGTON CITY (verified owner) –

    While the presenter opens with concepts that are not well-enough defined to be translated into daily classroom practice (and he’s not to be too harshly criticized for this since the session he is leading is a short one), he does, as he progresses, increasingly move into more practical application, as evidence by his use of specific examples and anecdotal explanations of how these examples worked in classrooms.

  16. Allie – TRIAD LOCAL (verified owner) –

    It is dull but good information.

  17. Sasha – CLEAR CREEK ISD (verified owner) –

    I would have liked to hear about/see more examples geared toward the elementary level.

    I felt the course was fairly generic, especially for an experienced teacher; however, this would be quite beneficial for a newer teacher who is looking to improve their classroom.
