Gifted Education Online Seminar
The National Association for Gifted Children states that the Common Core State Standards are not sufficient on their own for gifted learners, and if adhered to without differentiation, may limit learning of gifted students. The Gifted Education Seminar is a 45 hour course of study replacing the former Gifted Education Institute. The Illinois State Board of Education invites classroom teachers to deepen their understanding of how to teach and reach gifted and talented students. The goal of the training, educators will be able to create an environment to identify gifted and talented learners, address their diverse needs, and measure student growth in the classroom, will be accomplished through the exploration of topics including perspectives of gifted, knowing the gifted, curriculum models, and differentiation. • A brief, initial meeting will be scheduled and all other meetings will be virtual.
