Course Description:

This BbCE course, intended for parents, teachers, home schoolers, coordinators and supervisors of GT learners, is activity-based and designed to be completed on an individual basis.  The course will help familiarize students with the general theoretical basis for creativity and critical thinking, specific teaching exercises and lesson plans, and sources for additional materials for developing creativity and critical thinking with GT learners.  Efforts will be directed toward the completion of a notebook of ideas, exercises, and resources that the student may wish to reference in future work with GT learners. Studies include reading text chapters and surfing the web in search of additional information.  Students will be asked to make contributions to a bulletin board discussion.  The final examination will take the form of a reflective essay.  Pre/Co-requisite: EDGT 410.
