Throughout the U.S., classrooms are filled with gifted students who are underserved and who have academic gaps that may prevent them from reaching their maximum potential. Many of them are low-income, culturally and linguistically diverse, twice-exceptional, or have non-traditional learning styles. As educational and instructional leaders in gifted and talented education, how do we accommodate these students? What strategies help fill these gaps? This session helps answer these questions through “live demonstrations” of strategies that engage, motivate, and are connected to a gifted student’s sense of competition. Many of these strategies do not cost a penny and are created using materials and supplies routinely found in classrooms and schools. If you work with such students as a parent, teacher, mentor, consultant, assistant, or administrator, this is a must-attend session.
