Every child has a talent and it's our job to recognize it.

Behavior is a symptom. So think about that "behavior" child and how you can recognize their talent.

Choosing eSports teams... Maybe a great place for "behavior" kids

A lot of things we reserve for "gifted" classes are things that are actually good for all students. What do you actually do for your gifted students? (E.g., depth & complexity icons were never meant for GATE) #occgate #occgatecon2022 @OCCGATE @RichardCash

[Heather Boling @hcboling]

Gifted students may have a mismatch of affect/behavior and cognition - we should help them with self regulation #occgate #occgatecon2022 @OCCGATE @RichardCash

[Heather Boling @hcboling]

Self belief comes not only from inside but from our community #occgate #occgatecon2022 @RichardCash

[Heather Boling @hcboling]

We need to help our kids self regulate. They missed out on a lot during closure. We need to help them catch up even if we're surprised at their gaps #occgate #occgatecon2022

SEL isn't just for 10:30 on Thursdays - it needs to be integrated into our entire day all week. (IMO so should everything else we teach - get away from silos) #occgate #occgatecon2022 @RichardCash

#UDL based on 4 different personality types: inductive/deductive and sensing/intuitive #occgatecon2022 #occgate @RichardCash

[Heather Boling @hcboling]

Do the activities you facilitate in your class both accommodate and challenge the multiple personality types your students have? #occgate @RichardCash

[Heather Boling @hcboling]

We want kids to learn how to work with their weaknesses, either using tools or relying on teammates. Can't just stick to what's fun #occgate @RichardCash

[Heather Boling @hcboling]

Working with people with opposing personalities is an opportunity not oppositional #occgate @RichardCash

I may not be able to visit classrooms during #hybridlearning, but that didn't stop me from "visiting" Mrs. D. Garcia's class to do a distanced @breakoutEDU. Students did a great job collaborating from their seats and/or working on their own!

[Heather Boling @hcboling]

#distancelearning is all about making adjustments. I got out my #cricut to make signs with #MicrosoftTeams icons on them to help our students find their way. Adhesive Vinyl is just the best!

[Heather Boling @hcboling]

Sometimes your cats get into a fight right behind you when you're in the middle of video-teaching a lesson to a whole class of 1st graders 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ #distanceLearning

To help with school closures, we went through all our elementary science lessons, pulled the easiest ones to do from home, and put them all up for free to make it easy. No signup required, no student login—we hope this helps! https://t.co/kWmzrOnjpZ

Tweet Tweet! Today I tried out a @DiscoveryEd strategy where students watched a video about polar bear adaptations and wrote "tweet" summaries w/ hashtags. Ah-ha moment: hashtags are main ideas and tweets are details! #DENAmb

Today for #collegeAndCareerWeek, I'm facilitating a video chat between my dad and classes at @StoddardSchool. He may be far away, but that doesn't stop him from being a guest speaker! #amazingAESD

#AESDmoba left the bus behind but brought all sorts of fun activities to @RossRoadrunners #STEAM night last night. It was a blast! #lego #GoogleExpedition #nintendoLABO #ozobot #mergecube #rocketleague
