EDUC 563 - Instructional Models and Strategies for Gifted and Talented Learners

3 credits
This course will help educators learn to apply a variety of curricular and instructional models, methodologies, and strategies to enhance their gifted instruction. Educators will acquire tools to enable their students to contribute to a multicultural, diverse society. The Virginia Standards of Learning will be used to develop strong academic rigor and complexity across disciplines and to prepare students for college and careers. Educators will learn about and develop instructional materials and methods that facilitate critical thinking inside and outside the classroom-including inquiry-based instruction and problem solving skills-to help them develop an environment that guides students to become self-directed, reflective, independent learners.
