GaTE teacher at Paine Elementary School - GaTE Rules!

[Leah Morrison @GaTERules]

As I reflect and think about next year, I’m so proud of my Science Olympiad team and how well they performed at Jacksonville High School’s Elem. Science Olympiad competition. In our 1st competition in 5 years, we came in 11th place out of 28 schools! #scienceolympiad #soproud

Jan. is GEM - Gifted Ed Month. Today, 2 of my classes started writing the rough drafts of letters to state reps. about what Gifted means to them. Many of them are shocked that AL gets so little funding for GaTE, so they’re advocating too. #alabamagifted #givethemavoice #GiftedEd

Many gifted individuals struggle with what’s known as impostor syndrome - which can manifest as a belief that they’re not actually that smart at all. We are our own harshest critics!

Who says Christmas, STEM, and GaTE don’t go together? Students used collaborative skills, engineering skills, and math skills to create the longest paper chain! Then, they measured each chain in inches and converted them to feet. #GaTERules

How do you keep students interested after they’ve completed an assignment? Give them a challenging menu! This group of girls took their Garden topics and turned them into movie posters. Would you watch their movies? 🎬🎥 #GaTERules #differentiation #TicTacToemenu #gifted

For any student who is a behavior problem, unless you know differently, always check to see if it’s boredom! Again, this is where differentiation in instruction is key. If you have students working on things they’re interested in, or that’s at their level, management is done. 👍🏻

[SENG @SENG_Gifted]

Gifted students may act out in class when they don’t feel challenged by material. Because of this, teachers may label them as problem children or as behavioral concerns.

This just hits too close to home. 😂 #thisisme #introvertsunite #notreally

[SENG @SENG_Gifted]

The child who escapes to their room for alone time after school.
The adult who is vocal and social in a small group but becomes silent and withdrawn in larger ones. Introverts are more common than one might think -- especially in the gifted community! https://t.co/NYFWx76Bh0

[Leah Morrison @GaTERules]

TCS teachers, this is a great read! Gifted students are not always best for peer teaching... differentiation is the way! Give them something challenging on their level to complete to show their learning, or have challenging activities for those early finishers!

[Gifted. @wggifted]

“For those kids who truly fly through everything (and produce quality work), don’t be afraid to ask them, “What would you like to do with your free time this week?” They might have a great idea that you would never have thought of.” https://t.co/BTrGEzh77C

[Leah Morrison @GaTERules]

Great read! The story challenge is one I forsee implementing with my GaTE kiddos soon! 😁
