5.2.6 Balancing Content Standards with the Hallmarks of GT Pedagogy

Classes of identified gifted and talented students are just as diverse as those in the general education setting! Teachers of gifted and talented students are charged with ensuring students gain the requisite knowledge and skills needed to transfer learning to authentic tasks, so they cannot afford to write lessons that are activities-based. Participants will explore GT unit plans that connect curriculum standards through a concept, explicitly teach thinking strategies, and challenge GT students through protocols and routines. Units are grounded in the UbD framework and are inclusive of best practices from the field of GT pedagogy. They address content imperatives and the unique learners gifted and talented educators serve. Prepare to unpack a structure that is inclusive of the work of Wiggins & McTighe, Kaplan, Burns & Leppien, and more.
