Educating The Gifted Child (Parent Course)

Educating Your Gifted Child (Parent Course)

Course Length: 4 Week Course

Instructor: Mrs. Amanda Reed, M.A. Curriculum and Instruction:Gifted Education 

Summary:

The course is broken into 4 weeks with 4-5 sessions a week. We will get in detail as much as we can, but the topic of gifted education is so vast, you can earn multiple degrees in the topic and still not know everything! However, you, as the parent and teacher, can take what you learn and apply the nuggets of knowledge to your family's homeschool routine. 

Each day has a PDF graphic organizer to print to take notes, jot down your thoughts, plan your research, and answer thought-provoking questions. To get the most out of this course, you should take the topics we discuss and go further into research with the specific path that applies to your community, family, and child.
