  8. More Standards!? National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC)  Pre-K-Grade 12 Gifted Program Standards http://www.nagc.org/index.aspx?id=546

  9. WHY? "These standards help define the comprehensiveness necessary in designing and developing options for gifted learners at the local level."

  10. Guiding Principles • Giftedness is dynamic and constantly developing • Giftedness is found among students from a variety of backgrounds • Standards should focus on student outcomes rather than practices

  11. Guiding Principles (continued) • Educators are broadly defined as administrators, teachers, counselors and other instructional support • "Programming" rather than "program"

  12. The Six Gifted Programming Standards • Learning and Development • Assessment • Curriculum Planning & Instruction • Learning Environments • Programming • Professional Development

  13. Standard 1: Learning & Development Educators, recognizing the learning and developmental differences of students with gifts and talents, promote ongoing self-understanding, awareness of their needs, and cognitive and affective growth of these students in school, home, and community settings to ensure specific student outcomes.

  14. Inner/Outer Circle Activity Two concentric circles. Equal number of people in both circles.  The Question: Thinking about Standard 1, what do we do to support this practice?
