571 Words3 Pages

The NAGC Teacher Knowledge and Skills Standards Self Assessment was completed on October 24, 2016. After thoroughly reading the gifted education program standards, I identified three standards in which I have weaknesses and am interested in developing. Those standards are Standard 4 Instructional Strategies, Standard 7 Instructional Planning and Standard 8 Assessment. In reference to Standard 4, there are two areas that I am in interested in developing. These areas are (1) curricular, instructional, and management strategies effective for individuals with gifts and talents and (2) provide opportunities for individuals with gifts and talents to explore, develop or research their areas of interest or talent. I am interested in these areas of …show more content…

These areas are (1) theories and research models that form the basis of curriculum development and instructional practice for individuals with gifts and talents and (2) design differentiated learning plans for individuals with gifts and talents. It is essential to understand the research and theories that shape the curriculum and instruction for students with gifts and talents. In order to fully implement the curriculum, a teacher should know about the nature and needs of the gifted learner as defined by research and theory. I would like to know more about approaches and strategies for the gifted learner that are based on scientific research and theories for gifted education. This will provide me with the ability to provide appropriate instructional practices that will directly benefit students with gifts and talents. Knowing what the research deems as best practices for gifted education will also help in designing differentiated instruction for gifted students. I would like to know more about the process and method of differentiating what is being taught and how it is being taught to students with gifts and

    In 2009, governors and state commissioners alike came together to formulate the development and implementation of the Common Core State Standards. Through membership organizations such as the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) (http://www.corestandards.org/about-the-standards/frequently-asked-questions/), they were able to create a system that represented a clear-cut caliber of expectations meant for students in kindergarten to grade 12. Over the past several years, new amendments have been added to keep up with the standard that 48 states have adopted into their school systems, although the adoption of the policy was voluntary (http://www.corestandards.org/about-the-standards/frequently-asked-questions/). Despite majority of the states in the U.S. having decided on the policy already, there has been conflict amongst the parents of the children who are subject to the rigorous and exhausting amount of tests they must take to keep up with what is fixed into their school systems. The argument against test-taking is a controversy in itself as many believe

  • The Humanistic Theory Of The Multiple Intelligence Theory

    Likewise, the Multiple Intelligence (MI) theory is also a very useful model for developing any systematic approach for nurturing and training learners and respecting their individual needs and strengths within a classroom setting. According to Emmer and Evertson (2009) multiple intelligence aids teachers in easily creating more personalized and diversified instructional experiences. It offers the teachers to help students become empowered by extending and promoting cognitive bridging techniques based on the seven intelligences, by fostering in them a deep metacognitive understanding and advancing suggestions for a broad array of skills and techniques to deal with different types of learners. This theory is summarized by Howard Gardner in his book Frames of Mind (2006) namely: Linguistcs, Logical Mathematical, Spatial, Musical, Bodily Kinesthetic, Interpersonal, and Intrapersonal. Using these techniques can help create ‘instructional bridges’ into difficult concepts.
