I just want to say thank you to the @GCSchoolsNC AG department for supporting our education at Elon and helping to pave the way for our masters. #Classof2020 #ElonEd @scontrerasGCS @MrsWilliams2021 @Ms_Caldwell309

@MrsHallScholars One of my former 2nd graders (now 8th grader) is going to be a hostess at my wedding next year ❤️ our kids REALLY become OUR KIDS.

Had so much fun today at #NCAGT conference! I love running into my classmates, Heyyyyy Eliana 😍I’m ready for tomorrow’s presenters!

#GT stands for Gifted & Talented FYI :) you're genius suggestions are welcome...

So my current research question is: "Can changing the assessment methods to identify GT students cause more AfricanAmerican & ELL students to be ID'd as #GT?

Anyone have a way that I could swing my research topic to fit something that I could actually implement and observe in my AG classroom? Stay tuned for my current question...

How did I ever get through life as an undergrad/now grad student without the use of #GoogleDocs ? #LifeIsGreat #SuchATeacher

GT Characteristics and curriculum design... what should be considered... #gtchat #gifted&talented

#SignsOfGiftedness #infographic #ElonEd @scomorrison I made this specifically for BT's so they have an idea of what to look for. Enjoy!

Teacher Friends! I have been super busy as a new AG teacher and have not had ANY time to tweet! But, I did make the Gifted Signs Infographic I promised!

Thinking about using @Flipgrid in your classroom this year? Here are some reasons you should incorporate it into your daily schedule! #ElonEd #FlipgridFever

@HistoricaOnline @PlayYay @AuroraRemember @Lyne_Robichaud @EmilyKM_LPC @thatmags @MrsRogersGT @AnnaCalven @MrsWilliams2021 You’ve been quoted in my #Wakelet collection "#gtchat: Characteristics of Gifted Children". Check it out: wke.lt/w/s/21IjJI

Thoroughly enjoyed the #gtchat and connected with some awesome #gifted educators! I have so many new points for my field research project #gifted #gtchat #ElonEd @scomorrison

A6) This is still tough. The school system in the USA is still factory model. We are changing this in places like @D39Campus @KSRedesign. We are in the process of change and gifted is not necessarily achievement on whatever assessment we place in front of them. #gtchat

A6: The child as a whole should be addressed! The norm is to focus so much on testing as opposed to the social, emotional, cultural aspects of our students, etc. #gtchat

A5: Could we flip this question? What does diversity or lack of diversity look like in our GT programs? When we notice that specific groups are underrepresented in our programs, what strategies will we use to increase access and equity? #gtchat

This is so me at a staff meeting! #gtchat #ElonEd

A5 Skills and characteristics that can be overlooked in diverse populations (ethnicity, low SES) include a child’s ability to make intellectual connections far beyond age-peers or possessing a voracious curiosity. What would you add? #gtchat

A5) Creative problem solving! Whether it’s in a different language or in a manner or modality that wouldn’t have occurred to you it’s immaterial. Often Sts from traditionally under identified or underserved kids hide the traditional cues, but CPS is a good indicator. #gtchat
