Teaching of gifted students

This book will help facilitators empower gifted and talented teens to enhance their strengths and discover opportunities for growth.

Gifted and talented teens often have physical, emotional, and social challenges. They are exposed to an ever widening, diversified, and sometimes scary world. All adolescents may feel insecure, test boundaries, feel peer pressure, and wonder about their futures. Gifted and talented teens struggle with these same issues. They may excel in one or more area and struggle in others.

A User-Friendly Resource

Educators and counselors of gifted and talented teens, mental health professionals, and facilitators in virtually any setting will find this resource tailored to the strengths and needs of their clients.

Adaptable

The Facilitator's Possibilities page at the end of each activity suggests ways to present the exercise(s) as well as follow-up possibilities. Each handout can stand alone or a chapter can become a series of sessions or a workshop.

Age and Ability Appropriate

Activities are for gifted and talented teens, and are adaptable to individual or group exercises, whether facilitator led or used as self-directed learning.

Chapter Descriptions

Intrapersonal and Interpersonal

Teens first focus on their qualities within, traits that benefit or deter their progress, the senselessness of comparisons, and character traits. Teens then explore their interactions with others, rapport, levels of conformity, friendships, and love relationships. Thought Power

Teens investigate their emotional intelligence, perspectives, and values, and they compare artificial to human intelligence. Teens identify and reprogram distorted thoughts and differentiate between distress and eustress. Giving Back

Teens re-gift an intangible quality, and explore ways to use their difficulties, talents, and resources to help others. Teens develop a personal platform, experience positive reciprocity, and find value in forgiveness. Team Player

Teens acknowledge that disagreements can lead to innovation, and conflicts can be resolved. Teens apply sportsmanship concepts to competitive situations and identify ways to manage wins, losses, and mistakes. Teens practice communication, leadership, and followership. Self-Expression

Teens share ideas about topics important to them through their choices of visual art, the written or spoken word, theater, dance, music, fantasy, and other techniques. Teens change self-limiting thoughts into personal power, identify insights, evoke emotions, and take healthy risks through creative expression.

Reviews for Gifted and Talented Teens: Enhancing Strengths and Discovering Opportunities for Growth

"""Having been a school counselor for years, this is a book I could have used. I especially like the Facilitator Possibilities that are on the back of each reproducible activity. It contains facilitator information on the subject, the supplies needed, suggestions of how to use the activity, a wrap up to end the activity, and the independent and team projects."" Mickey Henson, MA ""You are holding in your hands a book that can open the world for many children. Strengths and Opportunities is full of activities that will give children a chance to step safely outside their comfort zone and make the world a better place. Through guidance and steering, a teen can gain the tools needed to speak up, figure out what holds them back, and work through issues because the activity taught them they are not alone. Many teens feel like they are the only one, this workbook filled with activities, lets them know they share many of their insecurities with others. It is a must have for every counselor."" Niki Tilicki, MA Ed"
