  2. Introduction • Introduce the book Teaching Gifted Kids in Today’s Classroom by Susan Winebrenner. • Book is designed to be used for a Professional Learning Community (PLC) • Can be used with teachers of the gifted or a combination of regular educators and the teachers of the gifted. • Video • Mastery of content

  3. Strategy – Name Card Method • Gifted students often share a characteristic of blurting out answers and attempt to dominate conversations. • Other gifted students are shy and reluctant to share their ideas. • Create a name card for each student in the class (can use popsicle sticks, or other objects) • Only call on students using the cards. • Keeps students from hiding or not participating • Ultimately will reduce blurting out or the competition to be selected from those with hands raised highest.

  4. Strategy – Compacting One LessonMost Difficult First • When providing an assignment to the class identify the most difficult questions or tasks. • Students may choose to complete the most difficult portion first. • If completed successfully the student can choose to work on an alternative activity of their choice on the same topic or standard. • There is an option to use students as checkers. • To use this strategy students will need to follow a few essential rules for independent work

  5. Essential Rules for Independent Work • 1. Do your work without bothering anyone • 2. Work on your extension activity without calling attention to yourself; please don’t talk while the teacher is teaching. • 3. Refrain from asking the teacher questions while her or she is working with other students. • 4. Do the extension activity you have agreed to complete. If you finish it before the class is finished working, choose another extension activity. • 5. Keep records of the tasks you are working on in the way your teacher has explained.

  6. Strategy – Compacting a weekly lesson – Pretest • Provide volunteers the opportunity to take a pre-test. • This works well with spelling exams. • Test will only be graded if student demonstrates mastery • Suggested mastery level is 90%. • Students with mastery can work on alternate extension work

  7. Strategy – Compacting a unit – Learning Contract • Students determine the grade they will work toward • Rubrics available for each activity.
