I teach general education. My bachelor’s degree is in Elementary and Special Education, so I really did not have a lot of experience working with gifted students, which was one of the reasons I enrolled in the Special Education Gifted and Talented program. I knew how to effectively teach kids who were struggling. I didn’t know how to enrich the students in my general classroom who were above average. It was the one area that I felt I needed more training for me to become a high-quality teacher of all students.
The program has helped me learn to effectively implement critical thinking and problem-solving strategies, and develop curriculum units that can enrich students’ general academic knowledge.
