Description
Although the best way to provide opportunities for educators to analyze various situations in education is through hands-on practice, it is not always easy to organize such encounters with professionals, especially in gifted education. Case studies situate learning in authentic and meaningful contexts and provide the data and stories that end in a dilemma. This session engages participants in a reflective analysis of case studies through discussion questions, activities, extensions, and suggestions for further reading. Cases that are keyed to national standards offer participants professional development opportunities to better serve gifted and talented students.
