The Essential What and Why of Curriculum for Gifted and Talented Students

Back by popular demand, this encore preconference session from NAGC 2022 highlights curriculum and instructional strategies and resources that work! Selecting curriculum is one of the most important decisions facing a gifted coordinator, teacher, or homeschool parent. This session showcases evidence-supported curricula that address the learning needs of gifted and talented students. Together we will explore what key features effective models share, and why the key features are essential. Five popular curriculum models will frame important questions around how to select curriculum and the aims of curriculum differentiation. Together they demonstrate the following key features: depth, cultural and contextual relevance, complexity, discourse, and conceptual understanding. Participants will experience a variety of approaches to incorporate into their classrooms and walk away with an extensive list of curricula resources.
