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

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

Nov 3 @ 9:11 PM EDT
A1b: Planning ahead can also help GT Ss be resilient by decreasing anxiety & fear of situations.

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

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.

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

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

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

situation!

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
