In this course, the co-instructors will lead a group discussion about how to improve gifted education, both for students participating in the discussion as well as for gifted kids in general. Topics covered will include different models of gifted education, how to self-advocate, what kind of tools and support groups are available, and how to deal with school administration. We may also try laying the groundwork to put together a resource to help gifted kids(particularly elementary school kids) make sense of the behavior of teachers, administrators, and grownups. While this course is listed as a 50-minute course, we will try to arrange it for a 1:50 block so that we can go past 50 minutes if people are interested.
