Description
Need an infusion of inspiration and playfulness to ignite critical and creative 21st century thinking in your primary classroom? Engage students in convergent, divergent, evaluative, and visual problem-solving through a fun program of whole-class lessons and small group activities that reach gifted/talented students across traditional cultural, linguistic, or socio-economic roadblocks. Build behavioral portfolios for identification purposes that highlight talents many traditional measures miss by using checklists aligned to these thinking strategies to raise identification of students from underserved populations. Or just need a personal metacognitive break? Brainstorm, solve mysteries, and make criterion-based choices -- come join the fun!
