Welcome to my Challenge classroom for gifted and talented students.
The mission of gifted education is to maximize the potential of gifted and talented learners by providing programs and services which match their unique characteristics and needs.
The gifted have a right to an appropriate education grounded in the recognition of individual differences and unique learning needs.
The gifted need a curriculum responsive to their individual learning rate, style, and complexity. The gifted learn best in an instructional environment that encourages and nurtures inquiry, flexibility, and critical and creative thinking.
I'm a firm believer in Love and Logic. Students may do whatever they want in my classroom as long as it isn't a problem for someone else. Problems are dealt with on an individual basis. I try to be fair. This plan changed my life as a parent and as a teacher. If you're interested in learning more about Love and Logic and how it can work for you at home, I'd love to share my resources with you.
