This course is an overview of the characteristics and needs of gifted learners including: the intersections of giftedness with cultural, linguistic, socioeconomic factors and individual differences; the domains of intellectual, academic, creative, leadership and artistic giftedness; and the social and emotional development of gifted children and teens. Teachers will learn to implement evidence-based strategies, such as developing thinking dispositions and integrating approaches for twice-exceptional students, in order to help unlock potential in gifted students and to support students in learning content, adapting to different environments, developing self-efficacy, and becoming ethical leaders. Prospective teachers will develop culturally responsive collaboration strategies for working with school staff and families.
