I'm a big fan of numberless word problems because they force students to think rather than mindlessly compute. Brian Bushart shares lots of free problems for elementary teachers here: numberlesswp.com/

3G and 4G AIG math students have been playing "True or False?" using their data analysis knowledge and critical thinking powers. 💭🧠🗣️These tasks allow students to discuss & debate with their teammates while also practicing their math writing skills. #giftedkidsrock #aesAIG

Gifted services are not just about advanced content.
They should also help students develop creativity, critical thinking, self-understanding, and opportunities to use their voice.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month.
Gifted learners need support for their emotional growth too—not just their academic progress.
Reflection, belonging, and understanding all matter.

Student growth does not always look the same.
For gifted learners, growth may show up in deeper questions, stronger perseverance, greater self-advocacy, or a willingness to take risks.

My 2G students have been digging deep into depth & complexity the last few weeks. Our big focus has been examining the different perspectives in our texts. Asking them "Whose perspective is missing?" will really elevate our discussion next week! #depthandcomplexity #aesAIG
For deeper discussion, try question stems like:
• What patterns do you notice?
• Whose perspective is missing?
• What changed over time?
• What’s the evidence?
Small shifts in questions can create big shifts in thinking.

3G AIG students started creating their own 2T1L puzzles using their area & perimeter knowledge. This process allows them to tap into the creative side of their brain while applying the different math concepts. #giftedkidsrock #aesAIG

“Gifted” doesn’t mean “perfect.” It often means learning differently—faster in some ways, deeper in others, and sometimes unevenly. What’s one thing you wish you’d known at the start of your gifted journey? #GiftedEd #GiftedOnboarding

I would add on to the question - "What helps you feel safe, seen, & supported AS A GIFTED student in OUR classroom & OUR school?".⭐️
Reminding my AIG students that they are gifted learners is key. This reminds them their 🧠s work & think differently.⭐️
🤝 Schools that prioritize student voice foster true belonging.
Invite gifted students to share:
💬 “What helps you feel safe, seen, and supported here?”

Direct Instruction (DI) provides a clear path for evaluating instructional design. Here are 20 rules and recommendations for effective programs:
1. Maintain stable difficulty. Difficulty should rise slowly and predictably so students never hit a sudden cognitive spike.

Tier 2️⃣ instruction fills gaps that appear after Tier 1 instruction, or provides the necessary extensions that allow learners with a solid understanding to engage in enrichment activities.

The town I teach in had its Fall Festival this weekend, so I thought a pretzel nonogram puzzle was fitting for today.
