“Gifted students will do fine on their own.”
“Gifted programs are elitist.”
These and other myths prevent our country from appropriately educating millions of advanced students.  In April 2019 Christine Nobbe was named Gifted Director for the state of Missouri and prior to that spent thirty years in the classroom setting. From special education to gifted teacher Christine has been able to help school districts around the state develop and grow outstanding gifted education programs and work with classroom teachers to identify characteristics of gifted students.  Take a listen as Christine and I discuss and debunk some of the current myths about gifted education.

In this episode you'll hear...

• How to identify the gifted student in a general classroom setting
• Why gifted students need the support and modifications to be successful
• Strategies to enrich the gifted students educational experience
