#Parents and #teachers often forget that intellectual maturity does NOT equal #emotional #maturity with highly and profoundly #gifted kids. Instead of pathologizing normal #childhood behavior, the adults in the room need to re-evaluate their own expectations and provide support (if even necessary) to kids who are just being kids.

@maggiek On a similar horrifying note, you can check out the #Mommy #Bloggers in the #homeschool and even #gifted world who exploit every tantrum and mislearning adventure their kids have in exchange for some free curriculum and ad space on their #websites. #Kids deserve #privacy and to not have embarrassing moments forever preserved in the digital world. #gtchat

Can you share a little about the Depth and Complexity framework and what exactly the five Content Imperatives: Origin, Parallel, Contribution, Convergence, and Paradox are? #gtchat #gifted #GiftedEd #Education

I worked at a state uni teacher prep program and I can tell you those UG & grad students got almost no training in #SpecialEd. What we do know is that many teachers rely on "junior instructors" in their classrooms to support the needs of struggling #students. You know, the #gifted kids who get paired up on group projects with less engaged classmates - or how #PeerTutoring is used under the guise that it helps the GT kid reinforce their own learning.

@neuralengine Oh dear, that poor poppy is going to be soon chopped down, isn't he? #gtchat

@edugeek I’m thinking hashtags, the same ones we used on the bird site. #gifted #2ekids #gtchat
