Today we're discussing how to meet the needs of gifted students in the classroom. #mogtchat

MOgtchat - Moderator Nov 3 @ 9:02 PM EDT

For those new to chatting here's a cheat sheet to help you! #mogtchat

MOgtchat - Moderator Nov 3 @ 9:03 PM EDT

Also, some common acronyms you will see are Ss for students, Ts for teachers, and GT for gifted. #mogtchat

Good evening. I teach gifted 5th grade students in a K-6 public school that is 100% gifted in Chandler, AZ. #mogtchat

Q1:____(See Pic) #mogtchat

WaltzLezlie Nov 3 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: Planning ahead can help GT Ss be prepared 4 some social situations & be resilient in dealing w/them when in the moment #mogtchat

WaltzLezlie Nov 3 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1b: Planning ahead can also help GT Ss be resilient by decreasing anxiety & fear of situations. #mogtchat

IndepIMPACT Nov 3 @ 9:11 PM EDT

I would have to say many if my Ss do not know how to plan ahead #mogtchat

IndepIMPACT Nov 3 @ 9:12 PM EDT

We talk about how to prob solve situations in reg class #mogtchat

MrStooks Nov 3 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1: Particularly w/older Ss, I have to work hard to anticipate as many incorrect answers so I can spin them w/o frustrating Ss #mogtchat

MOgtchat - Moderator Nov 3 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Q2: coming in 1 minute #mogtchat

MrStooks Nov 3 @ 9:13 PM EDT

We often pose problems to the Ss and have them come up with ways someone would take an incorrect approach. #mogtchat

MrStooks Nov 3 @ 9:13 PM EDT

This often helps them realize that being resilient is a matter of getting back onto the right track from where they are. #mogtchat

MrStooks Nov 3 @ 9:14 PM EDT

INDEED! #mogtchat

In reply to @IndepIMPACT

IndepIMPACT Nov 3 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Resilience is a needed skill, I teach my Ss how to study #mogtchat

NusKnights Nov 3 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A1 #mogtchat I think reflection is key for gifted students. Them analyzing how planning (or lack thereof) lead to success (or failure).

WaltzLezlie Nov 3 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: One way 2 help GT Ss struggling w/inconsistencies in school is by listening vs trying to argue things are fair that aren't. #mogtchat

IndepIMPACT Nov 3 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: my Ss mostly don't like being bored in class, we talk about how to negotiate with the teacher #mogtchat

IndepIMPACT Nov 3 @ 9:18 PM EDT

I also want my Ss to understand the teacher's viewpoint of why things are done a certain way #mogtchat

A2 #mogtchat Helping them "unpack" the ways history and policy shape what education is and finding them authentic ways to exact change.

MOgtchat - Moderator Nov 3 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Q3:__(See Pic) #mogtchat

MrStooks Nov 3 @ 9:20 PM EDT

I remind Ss that some tasks in ed are about clarity and perseverance, even if the overall task seems silly. Important to set goals #mogtchat

WaltzLezlie Nov 3 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A3: Ts can help disillusioned GT Ss find what they CAN do (what they have power to change/improve) This is a real #PBL situation! #mogtchat

IndepIMPACT Nov 3 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3: help students find a passion they can explore at school #mogtchat

ShughesStacy Nov 3 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3 Empower them with what they can do. Teach them where to put their energy (things they can control) #mogtchat

MrStooks Nov 3 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3: Exposure! GT Ss need a chance to realize that they are not the only people who see things the way they do. #mogtchat

Going to have to sign off, glad I was able to be part of chat for a bit #mogtchat

NusKnights Nov 3 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Realized I used, "authentic," multiple times. Such a difference in engagement when they believe it matters. #mogtchat

WaltzLezlie Nov 3 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A4: Ts can help GT Ss find pockets of joy by talking @ finding upbeat "happy" music & humor in funny books or comedy #mogtchat

WaltzLezlie Nov 3 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A4b: Ts can help GT Ss find "pockets of joy" by talking @ playing instruments, spending time w/pets, & physical activity #mogtchat

Hi. Laurel from @DrKilgoresWorld #AvilaEdTech class. Learning how to twitter chat! #mogtchat

allenerika871 Nov 3 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A6: maybe have students think aloud, explain how they are thinking? Specifically in a small group? #mogtchat

NusKnights Nov 3 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A5: Tough, w/o knowing S. In my experience consistent natural consequences, allowing S to fall safely, & reflection = impact. #mogtchat

allenerika871 Nov 3 @ 9:42 PM EDT

#mogtchat BTW sorry, I am coming in late. Pre-service teacher here!

msbottcher Nov 3 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A6. When reading a passage, have students discuss in groups their reactions and feelings about the passage. #mogtchat #Avilaedtech

NusKnights Nov 3 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A6: #mogtchat Has to be ongoing and a part of every conversation. "How do you now what you know? What else does this connect to?"

WaltzLezlie Nov 3 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A7: Ts can help perfectionisti Ss by shifting the focus away from errors & onto growth & effort as a measure of success. #mogtchat

allenerika871 Nov 3 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A7: I would help students differentiate between realistic and unrealistic goals. Then I would help them develop a personal rubric #mogtchat

mr_beebe59 Nov 3 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A5: This student is in need of positive reinforcement. She is plenty capable, it just needs to be brought out. #mogtchat #avilaedtech

DrKilgoresWorld Nov 3 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A7: Perfectionism is a struggle. Ss must self-reflect and really look at the purpose causing the issue. #mogtchat
