There is more than one way to work with gifted students. It is best for teachers to develop a toolbox of strategies that both fits the need of the student and the capability of the teacher. This session looks at 10 of these strategies, ranging from pre-assessment and in-class enrichment options, to outside learning experiences and inquiry learning. Teachers will be able to find the right tool they can use to reach not just their gifted students, but any student looking for a challenge.

Often times the questions we are asking our students do not push their thinking or even measure mastery of what we are trying to evaluate. Participants will learn how to use Bloom’s Taxonomy to write different levels of questions designed to challenge students and to raise the rigor in the classroom. Teachers will leave with resources that will allow them to begin asking these questions in their own classrooms whether on assessments, assignments, activities, or even day-to-day conversations with students.
