Elementary Einsteins: 4 Simple Steps to Challenging Gifted Students in Your Classroom - Tapa blanda

Do You Want to Help Your Talented and Gifted Students Fly?

Is there anything more engaging than the bright "spark" of a gifted and inquisitive young mind? Is there anything more frustrating than not having the time to develop them to their full potential?

Every year all teachers have a few kids who display gifted tendencies, kids who are eager to soak up learning and engage with their teacher at a high level. But I can hear you saying...

"I just don’t have the time!"

There is so much content to teach! Common Core implementation, new curriculum, standards-based testing... every minute of an elementary teacher’s day is already packed, and so many students need help catching up to grade level.

How in the world can we find time to challenge our high-performing children? In Elementary Einsteins: 4 Simple Steps to Challenging Gifted Students in your Classroom you'll learn exactly how to do it.

The good news? It’s not hard to individualize for them when you know the four simple steps. And every step is Common-Core aligned!

Let's get started!

I love elementary teaching... and teachers! I have taught 3rd, 4th and 5th grades and subbed in rooms from kindergarten to 6th grade. I've also seen the administrative side during my time as an assistant school secretary. And the volunteer/mom/concerned parent angle? I've got that covered... my two boys are finishing up college, but I was there for them - in their classrooms - every step of the way. I hold a Masters in Elementary Education & Teacher Certification from Eastern Washington University and I have earned my National Board Certification. I have attended the Mickelson ExxonMobil Teaching Academy for Science and Math, been a national finalist at the Microsoft Innovative Education Forum and been awarded an Enhancing Education through Technology Grant. In addition to my teaching activities, my classroom teacher resources are based on my service as a district technology trainer and curriculum developer. I love all of my kids - special-education, talented and gifted, English language learners - every single one of them as individuals, no matter where they come from. Their success drives me, and inspires me to create teaching resources that are as effective as possible.
