Educational practices

The standard classroom approach doesn't always cater to the learning needs of gifted students. By understanding their learning characteristics and non-cognitive traits, we can identify their educational requirements and propose various educational adaptations.

• Educational Practices for Cognitively High-Functioning Students
  Teachers will learn to translate learning characteristics into educational needs, understand the necessity of making educational adjustments, and grasp the principles of compacting and enriching.

• Acceleration: Does it Lead to Issues?
  Research indicates that acceleration in schooling doesn't result in academic or socio-emotional problems. We'll delve into how schools should practically implement this, the crucial criteria involved, and the supportive tools available.

• Grouping and Classroom Management
  Grouping cognitively high-functioning students, whether full-time or part-time, is a key principle in gifted education. This not only enhances academic performance but also fosters better social skills. We'll discuss effective approaches to grouping.

• Organizing an Enrichment Class
  Enrichment classes offer challenging material for gifted students, but determining who belongs and how to structure these classes effectively can be complex.

• Inspiring Education Systems for Cognitively Gifted Students
  We'll explore models like the Integrated Curriculum Model by van Tassel-Baska and the Schoolwide Enrichment Model by Renzulli, which serve as inspiring examples for classroom practice.
