A1: that GT learners don’t stress out about their work. This is false Bc usually, GT Ss are the most stressed. #HackLearning

mjjohnson1216 Oct 22 @ 8:38 AM EDT

Reflecting on this reminded me of how frequently they "self-direct" themselves into one thing- remain "stuck" on it for awhile #HackLearning

A2 Giftedness is very often misunderstood by Ts -->Learn more about it & use that knowledge to teach the S. #hacklearning

In reply to @Stella_Pollard

Ms_A_Yeh Oct 22 @ 8:49 AM EDT

A2 (part 2): I think GT Ss sometimes need permission to fail. Perfectionism is real, esp when you often are @ top of class! #hacklearning

adding complexity is not a special event for "gifted" ... it is called good teaching and should be done across the board. #hacklearning

LoveJoyRes Oct 22 @ 8:50 AM EDT

#HackLearning A1 A GT myth is that Ss want to be labeled as gifted. Many resent labels especially one which narrows their potential.

mrbalcom Oct 22 @ 8:50 AM EDT

Beware: Using Multiple Intelligences is NOT differentiating for G/T learners. That's a lateral move not raising the level. #HackLearning

biologygoddess Oct 22 @ 8:50 AM EDT

All Ss should have choices, GT Ss will naturally dig deeper. Everyone has a talent some are just undiscovered #hacklearning

A1 - That G&T students don't need extra support. They're quicker than everyone else, so they're already ahead. #hacklearning

AnnemarieCat Oct 22 @ 8:35 AM EDT

Q1: What might be some misconceptions about Gifted and Talented students? #hacklearning
