This session will focus on the key components of a strong gifted program as well as specific and practical instructional strategies for use with gifted students. We will discuss not only the importance of rigor but also how rigor can be heightened with certain choices for instructional strategies and curricula. Time will also be spent looking at typically underserved populations of gifted learners such as the twice exceptional, students who are gifted and ELL, as well as underachievers and students of poverty. Students' needs will be identified as well as coupled with best practices in curriculum and instruction to address their unique learning needs. Strategies will be presented and demonstrated across grade levels and subject matter.
This workshop will be presented by Dr. Mary Slade of James Madison University from 8:30-3:30 (with one hour for lunch on your own) on Thursday, April 22nd.
