Description
It is impossible to serve the needs of gifted children without first identifying them. Unfortunately, many students aren’t identified until too late in their educational journey. In this 1-hour course, Debra Troxclair, Ph.D. defines what giftedness actually is and presents the reasons why it is important to identify gifted students as early as possible.
In this course you will learn:
- Different types of gifted students
- Traits of giftedness that are often mistaken for misbehavior
- How to identify young children with advanced abilities

I loved this course. It was very insightful as to what our gifted students ‘look like’ and how important it is for us to SEE them with our positive classes. I think it’s important to pay attention to some of the ‘behavior’ driven characteristics of these children and approach them from a different prospective.
