5.3.3 Is it OK to Start without a Plan? To Work without a Net?

“I want to help the gifted kid in my class, so I’ll do it somehow!” “I’ve got IEPs to support! Am I supposed to write a plan for every kid in my class?” As coordinators of gifted programs and instructors for graduate courses, we hear these statements from teachers. These teachers have good intentions that often fall short of what their gifted students need. We will share evidence-based methods to collaborate with stakeholders to develop rigorous goals that take into account that students of diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds manifest their giftedness in a variety of ways, that gifted students need connections to information, and that learning requires authentic assessment.
