Gifted Minds, Gifted Reads: A Professional Book Study Series- What To Expect When You're Expected to Teach Gifted Students - 31677
This self-paced series is designed for educators seeking to deepen their understanding of gifted education practices and enhance their skills in supporting advanced learners. In this session, we will explore Kari Lockhart's insightful book, What to Expect When You're Expected to Teach Gifted Students: A Guide to the Celebrations, Surprises, Quirks, and Questions in Your First Year Teaching Gifted Learners.
This comprehensive guide offers practical strategies and real-world insights for new teachers navigating the unique challenges of teaching gifted students. Although this book is geared towards teachers new to gifted education, it can also serve as a great refresher if it has been some time since you earned your initial 30 hours of GT training. Participants will complete assignments in two formats: engaging in class discussions about the book on a shared Padlet and answering reflective questions in a book study guide.
Please note that participants are responsible for securing their own copy of the book prior to the start of the course. Instructions for completing the course will be emailed to participants shortly before the course begins.
